Author Notes: The honeymoon vacation might be over, but my tastebuds are still dreaming of a parsley dip we ate on the beach outside Volos, Greece. My husband has never seen me eat more. It was simple, but indulgent at the same time. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, and was able to re-create it, as best I can remember. Whether your’e hosting a group, or it’s just for you, It’s a great appetizer, hors d’oeuvre, or even dinner for one. Opa! —Jackie Stauffer
