I was hesitant about the lime but it worked great. Didn't have green onions on hand, but chives and red onion worked well to substitute.

DELISH!! I served this before a barbecue and got rave reviews! I used fresh grated parmesan instead of the blue cheese and added a little more salt, but that is a matter of taste. I'll be making this again soon.
