Drain some low-fat yogurt overnight to make this yummy cucumber dressing. This is a delicious topping for grilled chicken or meat. It's also a great dip for veggies and pita chips. Added another clove of garlic ( werewolves in Florida). Eliminated the parsley and go a little bit heavier on the fresh dill. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) container low-fat plain yogurt |
1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and grated |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Line a colander with two layers of cheesecloth and place it over a bowl. Place yogurt on the cheesecloth and cover the colander with plastic wrap. Allow yogurt to drain, 8 hours to overnight.
2. Place grated cucumber in a fine mesh strainer; allow to drain 1 to 2 hours.
3. Mix yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 2 hours.
