This is a healthy version of white gazpacho. The recipe is from the Cooks. com site with a few adaptations. The original recipe simply calls for unflavored yogurt. I use stock instead of broth. This version is much lower in fats and naughty carbs than the traditional Spanish version. Ingredients:
1 medium cucumber |
2 cups fat free greek yogurt |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, peeled |
2 cups chicken stock |
1 cup water |
2 tablespoons cilantro, fresh, minced |
2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Peel and coarsely chop the whole cucumber. In blender whirl chopped cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice and garlic. Add about 1/2 cup chicken stock. Pour into storage container and stir in rest of chicken stock and water. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or up to one day. Stir in cilantro. Pour into bowl, top with green onions or cucumber spears.
2. (I'm thinking it might work to substitute dill for the cilantro too.).
