This looks like a refreshing dip to brighten your days! In this recipe we’re cooking with lemon cucumbers. This dip really highlights how refreshing these cucumbers are on a hot summers day. I found this healthy recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/lemon-cucumber-dip-with-fresh-dill-with-video.html

SERVES 4 -6 , 1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Shred cucumber, skin and all. This is a really great way to use the whole vegetable. In this case, you’ll get a lot of juice and I highly recommend drinking it!
  2. 2
    Sprinkle the shredded cucumber with a little salt and drain in a colander for about one to three hours in the refrigerator.
  3. 3
    Crush 3 cloves of garlic.
  4. 4
    Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.
  5. 5
    Mix cucumber, garlic and dill with about 8 ounces of yogurt and add salt and pepper to taste. You may want to chill it for just a little bit before you serve it but that’s not necessary.
  6. 6
    Serve with french bread or even crackers!
