This was tasty. I used greek style yogurt and felt 2 cups was way too much. I think next time I will use 1 1/4 C of yogurt and leave thelemon juice the same just to tang it up a little more. I would reduce the salt and pepper accordingly. Some Dill would also be nice but then it would not quallify for under 6 ingrediants. This was fast and easy to make and clean up after.

I have to admit, I was skeptical as I was preparing this dish... but SO pleasantly surprised! DELICIOUS and one of the easiest meals I've ever made. I will definitely make it again.... and often!

This is a very light tasting dish and I enjoyed it immensely. If you don't want to mess with the clove of garlic, you can substitute 1/8 tsp garlic powder.
