" I used 1/4 c. chopped fresh dill & 1/4 c. chopped green onion mixed together for the whole recipe instead of splitting it in half to save time. Super yummy! I also found dipping them in grated parmesan cheese with a little finely chopped fresh parsley just to add a little color was really pretty. They look like little snowballs and kids love them!"
