Love this recipe.
my parents and sister relished it!my mom suggests that 3-4 cloves of garlic instead of 2, should have been added.and a little more lemon juice.but considering that it was the first try,it was yummy!
Great low cal version. Used low fat curds and note that the olive oil consumption is only 1 tsp. At restaurants, you will get 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil which makes this very unhealthy.
