Lemon YUMO

I did add grilled chicken from the Foreman and grilled shrimp. I used half the amount of yogurt and added a little fresh dill and served a spinach side salad with a pinch of garlic and olive oil. Family loved it and requested this for the next gathering this summer. Over all "A" crowd pleaser.

Pretty good

I did add grilled chicken, and mushrooms as well to make this a main course. It was pretty good, but over-all the yogurt taste was too strong. I also felt some fresh herbs would have been great!

Loved it!

I used this recipe as a main dish by adding grilled chicken. I didn't add the yogurt or bell pepper. I did add red grapes and dill to the dressing. Perfect salad for summer. It was really tasty.
