used lime zest and cilantro instead of lemon zest and parsley and it came out very good! used it on tacos with crock pot "roasted" chicken, salsa, and avocado....repeat recipe!

This was great! Used olive oil in place of butter...still great!!! Great accompaniment to my grilled chicken which uses the juice of the lemon!

Great recipe! I doubled the garlic (we like garlic!) otherwise followed exactly. Delicious! Served it as a side with roast chicken. Big hit! Next time, I am going to add toasted pine nuts. I am going to try cilantro instead of parsley for a change but it's absolutely great as is.
