Note: This is a really simple throw-together dressing that works well with
other seasonings, fresh herbs, lime juice instead of lemon, and even lowfat
mayonnaise and yogurt, too. You can enjoy this creamy dressing as above for
a hearty summer meal, or simply serve it as a smooth dressing for your
tossed green salad.
