I was thinking about what we could eat in this horrible heat. I don't have air in my home, so when it is hot outside it is like a sauna inside. So here is a simple recipe for a vegetable dip that is very refreshing.
1 large container plain yogurt
1 medium cucumber - peeled, seeded, finely copped
2-3 cloves of garlic -pressed
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients. How simple is that. Sometimes the cucumber makes it a little watery, so you can strain the chopped cukes if there is too much liquid, but i usually leave it in because it adds flavor. The amount of garlic is just a guess, so just add to taste without overpowering the cucumber flavor. If you are not a huge fan of garlic then add less. Remember a little garlic goes a long way and it will get stronger as it sets. This a wonderful bread and vegetable dip! Plus it is very good for you. Enjoy!
