    Love this dip. Use it at all my parties. People just rave about it. Ill have to try it over pasta like the other reviewers. Sounds good that way. Thanks Rachael Ray. Yummo

    This is one of my fave appetizers to make and eat. I am a huge fan of the fresh taste of parsley, so the more the better! But because the taste is so strong, I don't serve it with shrimp, just celery...

    My guests raved about the dip. It seemed to make tons and I had a lot left over. So, I used it the following week warmed over Pasta. Both uses rocked the house!

    I cut down on the parsley just a bit, to avoid the problem with the previous reviewer.

    I'll use it again.
