This was fantastic!! Served it with toasted pita wedges to go with a meditteranian theme. It was gone in a matter of minutes, the best part of the meal for sure. However, I did add some nonfat sour cream to give it more of the traditional dip consistency. It will become a regular at our house -
I couldn't get this to the right consistancy given the ingredients. I wound up adding creme fraiche and processing longer, which made a nice dip. This is very green, very nice. We are going to have it on slices of sour dough as an aperitif nibble. I can think of lots of other things to do with it, spread on sandwiches, maybe on fish as a condiment. I'll make it again, but with the creme fraiche, to get the dip-consistancy. Otherwise, recipe unchanged.
