We flipped out over this when it first hit the tasting table, and literally fought over the jar after it came out of the photo shoot.
Oh, California Cuisine, why did we stay away so long?

Embrace the '80s: Spoon this onto grilled shrimp or baked tilapia, mix it into hummus or use it to dress pasta salad with shredded chicken.
