Comments from Lisa Feinson :

Wonderful! Great as a baked potato filling too.

User Reviews:

Simple yet delicious recipe. Prep time is minimal. Was a great hit with my family. I also tried it with 1/4 tsp. of dried dill instead and it was great too. It is a healthy & delicious alternative for baked potato instead of sour cream
