    We enjoyed this recipe for a dinner out on the boat on a beautiful evening. It was the perfect make ahead dish. Made as directed other than I didn't measure the cilantro. I would guess used about a 1/4 cup. used nonfat Greek yogurt and I loved that it used yogurt instead of mayonnaise. I might cut the pepper back to 3/4 tsp. I definitely see myself making this again. Thanks for sharing. And this is going into my best of 2016 cookbook! I made this a second time this week and used 1/2 tsp of pepper and that was much better.
