I’ve been using this recipe for years! It is my favorite by far. Love the lemon taste and it is so perfect every time.

This was fantastic! And so easy. I made it just as the recipe is and do not think I will change anything in the future. I did marinate chicken in a Greek way, and grilled it to add to the top it was a fantastic combination.

Waaayy too much fresh lemon juice all we could taste was lemon, ruined the dish. I know it would have been grey with not even half and then taste as you add
