SUMMER BLUSH DIP



Summer Blush Dip image

I needed a quick dip to make the other night, and found this recipe from Heinz. This tasted so much like a dip I buy at the deli, and yet for something that is so simple this dip is so expensive to buy......so why pay top price and buy a dip when something is so very easy to make and tastes great, if not better than bought ones! Serve with your favourite water cracker or bread. Cooking time is the time for refigeration time.

SUMMER CRUDITES WITH GREEN GODDESS DIP



Summer Crudites with Green Goddess Dip image

Is it a dressing or a dip? Who cares? Green goddess dressing, the beloved California creation, doubles as a dip for a summertime crudite platter. The creamy concoction is studded with chopped fresh herbs and scallions, and it pairs particularly well with the season's bounty -- here, baby carrots and yellow squash, tender peas and beans, and little tomatoes -- but let the greenmarket (or your own garden) be your guide. This recipe originally appeared inMartha Stewart's Appetizers (Clarkson Potter).

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

250 g Quark (may use cream cheese per Note #1)
140 g low-fat yogurt (see Note #2)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
2 green onions (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons of fresh mint (chopped, may use coriander)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix quark & yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add next 7 ingredients (garlic thru lemon juice).
  • Mix well, taste & season w/salt & pepper to pers pref. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hrs b4 serving.
  • NOTE #1: I confess I have not used Quark as an ingredient & do not know if I can get it here in Iceland. However, Roz said "Quark makes a quick light dip & has fewer calories than richer cream cheese." Taking this cue from her, my assumption is cream cheese may be used as an alternative to quark.
  • NOTE #2: As written the recipe offered a choice of using single cream OR low-fat yogurt. I opted for the latter, but the former may be your choice. Feel free. :-).
