 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.
