This was wonderfull! My guests were on diets, so I served fresh veggies with avariety of dips and it was a big hit. Actually, I added a lot more cilantro after tasting, mainly because I had a ginger dip prepared already and I thought it too similar. It was great before and after I modified it. A great basic and so easy to throw together. Thanks Mean!
