I LOOOOOOVE this recipe, in fact - I'm craving it right now!! It's cool, creamy and absolutely delicious!! I love to serve it with apples and strawberries, and every time I make this for a party - it's ALWAYS a huge hit! I think this is the perfect addition to any Summer BBQ or get together. It's light, fresh, and ....somewhat healthy? Ok, the dip is completely UN-healthy, but the fruit is good for you anyway! ;-D Try it and let me know what you think!!! Oh and just so you know, this stuff goes FAST - I would recommend making a double batch just in case. ;-)
