Cool, refreshing, easy! I use non-fat yogurt and low-fat cottage cheese, but any will do. Ingredients:
1 english cucumbers or 2 regular cucumbers, peeled and cubed |
1/2 cup sliced green onion, white and green |
1/2 cup cottage cheese |
1/2 cup plain yogurt |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lemon zest |
kosher salt and pepper (start with 1/4 teaspoon of each) |
4 tablespoons finely diced sweet red peppers |
Directions:
1. Put everything except the red pepper dice into a blender container and puree until smooth.
2. Chill at least one hour.
3. Serve topped with red pepper dice.
4. Variation: Use about 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves instead of the green onion.
5. Makes 2 generous or 4 small servings.
