Refrigerate for 1-3 hours before serving, so flavors may mingle.
Other suggestions and comments:
While this makes an interesting dip for tortilla chips, it should really shine as a condiment for meats and seafood, especially items grilled to perfection, outdoors!
Put a rice steamer to work, and dinner's going to be great tonight.
