Summary
 

Even though it can be made in a flash, this zesty dip combines all the bright flavors of Greece in one easy-to-make dish. If you are a Mediterranean food fan, this dip will make a great addition to hummus in your repertoire. Note that when storing this dip in the refrigerator, it tends to firm up. Before serving, simply stir in water a tablespoon at a time until it becomes the desired consistency.

    This was completely delicious. Great flavor with the parmesan and added freshness from the lemon. The only problem was the family member who is diabetic didn't end up getting a lot of it as the rest of the family loved it so much.
