Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! I used a bottled "Greek Seasoning" mix in place of all the other herbs and it was delicious. I could not stop eating this dip (I am a big yogurt fan in general). This is so easy to make, I almosts can't believe how simple it is because it tastes so good. I can't wait to share this with my bellydance friends!!!
