I made this for dinner and we really liked it. However, my husband ended up eating it like a dip on tortilla chips because he felt like he wasn't getting enough substance. I thought it was great, but would probably end up making it with some grilled chicken breasts in the future. No longer a meatless meal, but this didn't stand up well on its own at our house. :)
