Note: This is a really simple throw-together dressing
that works well with other seasonings, fresh herbs,
lime juice instead of lemon, and even lowfat
mayonnaise and yogurt, too. You can enjoy this creamy
dressing as above for a hearty summer meal, or simply
serve it as a smooth dressing for your tossed green
salad.
