Plain nonfat yogurt heightens the texture of this easy dip while adding a nice tang. To thicken the yogurt properly, it needs to be drained, so begin preparing the guacamole at least two hours ahead. Offer light beer and iced tea throughout dinner. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups plain nonfat yogurt |
1 large ripe avocado, peeled, pitted |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
3 carrots, peeled, sliced diagonally |
1 small jicama, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick triangles |
1 bunch radishes, trimmed sliced |
fresh cilantro sprigs |
Directions:
1. Line strainer with double later of cheesecloth. Set strainer over bowl. Add yogurt to strainer. Let drain in refrigerator until yogurt is very thick, at least 2 hours or overnight. Discard liquid.
2. Place yogurt in processor. Add avocado and next 4 ingredients to processor. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.(Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
3. Place guacamole in center of platter. Surround with carrots, jicama and radishes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
