This delightful and simple dish can be served as a light lunch or an appetizer. The dip can be prepared up to a day in advance. Can be served with pita bread and an undressed green salad--use the dip as the dressing--so double the recipe.

Sounds absolutely delicious. Lamb is so underutilized. These would be great for Labor Day!

You're right momma (not mine) I think I might just have to have these for Labor Day too. I love lamb.
