     Great! I added two cloves of garlic, minced very fine. A great tangy dressing/dip. I think it would even make a good sandwich spread, but haven't tried it yet. - 3/26/12
  • RINNYMICHELLE
     I love this! I would recommend using 3 tbsp of lemon juice, not the full 4. Also, I substituted dill in for the cilantro and it's really delicious! Lots of flavor! I put use it with everything- salads, on top of baked potatoes, as a dip... you name it! - 6/12/12

     My yield was 1.25 cups. This is very good and had a nice bite. I made it exactly as stated. You could probably substitute lime juice for the lemon juice, maybe add some fresh minced garlic. But just as is, it's very good. Thanks for the recipe. - 3/25/12
  • THEEASYKILL30
     Great idea! However, why only use the cilantro leaves? Whenever I use cilantro, I use the stems as well. There's plenty of flavor there that's getting thrown out! - 3/5/12

     Substituted lime juice for the lemon for a more latin flavor. Very nice! - 8/19/12

     Great! I've been substituting fat free Greek yogurt for all of my recipes asking for sour cream, with very good results. - 3/5/12

     Glad I found this, low sodium dressing is practically non existent, at 5 mg I love it!!! Used Cilantro spice (1 TBS and 1 tsp) instead of fresh, need to dial it back a little as it is spicy. Even the wife unit like it and she is all about Kraft Ranch, Bacon etc. dressings - 6/27/12

     I don't like cilantro (personal aversion) so substituted dill and it is awesome! Great dip and good salad dressing! - 3/5/13
  • KARENSSTUDIO
     Great idea. I am going to try substituting the greek yogurt for mayo in home-made ranch dressing t0 see how this works - 6/3/12
  • LISAAMCM
     sounds good to me, I wonder what a little fresh tarragon and dill would do for it - 3/22/12

     I have made something very close to this recipe except I put some hot sauce in it and I didn't use lemon juice. It is a great healthy dip! Love it!!

     I added some Garlic I roasted as suggested by other reviewers and Mint. We use a lot of Mint in my Family. :) Can't wait to try it with Dill over some fish. - 2/21/13

     I left out the Cilantro as my husband is allergic to it, but otherwise left it as is and loved it. - 3/5/13
  • CD7023171
     Add sone minced garlic and it's Perfection.... A+ - 3/5/13
  • PKHOUSE
     Sounds awesome--I can't wait to try this one. Someone suggested dill, so I think I might experiment a bit.
    Also, it's nice to read so many positive comments--sometimes the negative words thrown around in this section seem very mean and not at all helpful.
    Stay positive, and keep the idea's comin - 3/5/13

     @LLBLOVER - to sub for Greek Yogurt, you can use a container of any plain yogurt and drain it (use an extremely fine strainer or if you don't have one , secure cheesecloth or any piece of very thin, clean, unbleached material like cotton batiste so it simulates a s strainer) in fridge for 6 to 8 hrs - 11/6/12

     Cannot do cilantro, used minced celery instead, added a bit of dill weed and garlic. - 3/9/20
  • CECTARR
     Used chives instead of cilantro - 9/27/19
  • RHOOK20047
     I made this minus the cilantro because I don't like cilantro. I diced up some whole garlic to give it some zip. - 8/30/18
  • PAMMYLBEAR
     I added garlic as garlic needs to go in everything except sweet dishes. Punched this up to five stars with that addition! - 4/29/18
  • ANHELIC
     I made this recipe and added minced garlic to it as well. I had some dill that I added to it. I have a hand blender and it did a great job. I used it as a sandwich spread with ham and a bit of mustard. It gave it a great tangy taste. I'm going to use it with a garden salad next time. - 2/2/18
