In Greek cuisine, you'll notice that dips are referred to as a salad. This salad contains a most unusual main ingredient. Capers are not my favorite but as my husband loves them I thought I would try this unusual dip/spread. I'm glad I did cause we all loved it. This recipe is a specialty from one of the Cyclades islands Syros. Made in a different variation on other Cyclades islands like Tinos & Kythnos, most islands are bare & dry and capers grow. Try to find the smallest capers possible. Believe me, there is a big difference. That's my hubby's plate:) with caper dip on a cracker.
