CL Comments: This vegetarian appetizer served in the restaurant at
Books and Books is made for garlic lovers. You can use less garlic if
you prefer. Serve with pita wedges.
Amy's Comments: Fabulous!!! Super easy to put together and a great low
cal snack. This will become a standard in our house. It's really
garlicy, so if you like less garlic, don't use as many cloves. Also,
you can have 2 servings and still stay at 1 point!
