Appetizer #14 - Zucchini Cilantro Dip
Yet another recipe from my 1993 Betty Crocker's New Choices Cookbook. The original recipe says there are 10 calories, 1 gram protein, 1 gram carbohydrate and zero fat in a 1tbsp serving (This is if you're using the non-fat cottage cheese). I'm going to really enjoy this dip! I'm so glad to find a way healthier dip than so many dips that are out there. Try this with crackers, chips and veggies.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup non-fat or regular cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsps cilantro leaves
2 tbsps lemon juice
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, reserve 3/4 cup of the shredded zucchini and set aside. Add all remaining ingredients and the rest of the zucchini into a food processor or blender. Cover and blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides. Pour the blended mixture into the the bowl with the 3/4 cup of shredded zucchini. Stir, cover and refrigerate for four hours. This will be about two cups dip. Serve with chips, crackers or veggies.
