Tasting Notes:
A very exciting blend of flavors, ranging from sweet to spicy to savory all in one bite. I worried the crushed red pepper would be too spicy, but actually think you could increase the amount a little. My only changes would be to decrease the soy sauce to 1 tablespoon, and add a splash more lime juice. The texture of this was perfect for spreading on sandwiches, as outlined above. For a veggie dip, I would thin it with just a touch of water. Great for dipping cucumbers and baby carrots.

Update:
The second time I made this, I went ahead and used 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, for even more kick, and loved the added spiciness.
I also took the opportunity to process longer, resulting in a smoother, creamier spread:
