Week 30 - Hint of Mint Yogurty Cucumber Dip

 Hint of Mint Yogurty Cucmber Dip

Week 30 of 52

Appetizer #4

    This week's recipe comes from Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 - 200 Recipes Under 200 Calories. This dip was tasty, but the texture was not what I was expecting. It was kind of watery and not creamy like I'd hoped. I followed the directions, so I'm not sure what happened. That said, I did enjoy it, but more as a topping on crackers, instead as a dip for veggies.  Give it a shot and see if it turns out better for you.

Ingredients:

4 oz plain fat-free Greek yogurt

1 medium English cucumber, chopped (I used half a regular cucumber; I wonder if I should have patted the slices dry, before chopping)

1 cup chopped red onion

1 cup fresh mint leaves (I didn't have fresh mint and the only mint I found was $2.08 for 5oz. I used a total of 10oz)

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp sugar

1 to 3 cloves garlic, to taste (I used 5 cloves!)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in either a food processor or a blender. Blend to your desired consistency. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
