My least favorite thing by Pritikin too. Nothing wrong with the recipe, it’s just so — I don’t know. Green and unforgiving. Like something you have to eat. Not sure how to describe. There are many better dips on this spa index recipe collection. A good cook can tweak the ingredients and come up with something more appealing.
My least favorite of the Pritikin appetizers. It’s just “okay.” The other dips on this site are better and more vibrant in my opinion.
wells it’s only 45 calories and it tastes like it — meaning, it’s not a “treat” and tastes like another vegetable. Not great, not bad, not that impressive, not making it again I don’t think
