I wasn't very impressed with this as a dressing for a chicken fajita salad. While a good, solid recipe, I think I'll use a simple sour cream-salsa mix instead next time. This recipe seemed a very close cousin to an extremely good Cooking Light (5 star, in my opinion) "Lime Cilantro Crema" that I have on a regular basis with fish tacos.06/09/08

Made this with the Fajita Salad recipe it was designed for. It is very good and I will definitely make this again. I think next time I'll try it in a pita pocket with some left over grilled chicken or pork.03/13/07
