Yummy! This is SO good. I cut the recipe in half (which was very easy!) and added a little extra lemon juice. I tasted it, and then decided it also needed a little more 'kick' so I added a few dashes of hot sauce and some Mrs. Dash lemon pepper. I also found it tastes best after it chills, overnight worked well for me. Very yummy recipe great with wheat thins and baby carrots for dipping! It's a keeper -- thanks for sharing!

Very tasty and healthy dip! Using the Italian dressing mix quarantines a tasty outcome! I doubled the lemon juice.
