Delious but Runny I am a registered dietitian and while I loved the flavor of this low-fat dip, I agree that this turned out too runny for my liking. Adding a small amount of higher fat dip would make is thicker, as I mention at personalrd.com. Or just use it as a pasta sauce instead! Pros: low fat, zesty flavor, easy Cons: runny
