Spicy Tomato and Onion Dip

Spicy sriracha sauce and red chile flavor this dip and provide an excellent level of heat that is cooled just slightly by the sour cream. This was an instant hit with my husband and oldest son.  It is a much hotter flavor than I am normally drawn to, however, I found myself repeatedly going back to the table for more.

Today is the reveal day for this month’s Secret Recipe Club. My assigned blog this month was BetsyLife. I had a great time browsing her posts and checking out her fantastic art work. You can see her artwork online at Betsy Haley. I have fallen in love with a couple of her pieces. Thanks for the recipe, Betsy and thanks for the fantastic art to drool over as well!
