To use, simply open the container. It is ready to be spread directly onto bread or toast for sandwiches. You can also spoon it over a bed of lettuce or mixed greens for a light salad. For a simple appetizer, serve it alongside crackers or vegetable sticks. Some people enjoy stuffing it into hollowed-out celery stalks for a classic appetizer.
