Recipe: Grapes and walnuts with lemon sour cream sauce

Dietitian's tip: The colorful outermost layer of the lemon, called the zest, is full of essential oils that contribute lively flavor and aroma to this sour cream sauce. Remove the zest by grating it with the fine rasps of a hand-held grater to form fine particles.
