Spicy Harissa Dressing + Dip

What the H is Harissa?? Harissa is a hot chili pepper paste typical used in Middle Eastern or North African dishes. To say a little goes a long way is an understatement. If you don't like heat, beware. You can make your own or buy it prepared [I got mine from Trader Joe's, see above]. This dressing/dip requires 1 bowl and 5 ingredients. To be honest, I first used this as a salad dressing because sometimes salads need a little dressing up amiright?? But, it can be used as a dip for veggies or crackers, you may just want to slightly reduce the amount of lemon juice and yogurt so it's a bit thicker.
