Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook. We are experiencing a MASSIVE heat wave this summer and you can't cook in a heat wave, it's unbearable. This recipe is a great recipe for  a heat wave because it tastes good and it will fill you up and cool you down at the same time. This is a great dish for lunch, dinner or even as a snack. You can serve this dip with other vegetables as well as chicken and fish.
