Fresh Dill Salad
Posted: Wednesday, March 31, 2010
1 cup Greek yogurt
Fresh Dill Salad is made with non-fat Greek yogurt. The Fresh Market's "25th Anniversary "The Fresh Market & Friends Cookbook" shares this: "Greek yogurt differs from regular yogurt in that the water whey is strained from the yogurt. This gives the yogurt a higher concentration of nutrients, a creamier, thicker texture and a higher heat tolerance, making it less likely to curdle and ideal for cooking. Due to the creaminess of Greek yogurt, it is great for recipes such as creamy dips, desserts and main dishes."
1 tablespoon fresh dill weed, chopped
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced (see note)
cup chopped onion
cup chopped bell pepper
In a large serving bowl, combine yogurt, dill and sugar. Add cucumber, onion and pepper, mixing until ingredients are evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and serve chilled. Excellent served with lamb or fatty fish. Makes 3 cups. Kitchen Ade Note: Seed cucumber, if desired. To enhance the flavor of the salad, a pinch of salt and splash of rice vinegar may be added, to taste.
