Mom used to make this dip a lot when we had guests over. I used to just love dipping in the carrots sticks and crisp pita toasts in this yummy and healthy snack. I've been making it quite often these last couple of weeks. My only change and addition is the fresh garlic which makes it taste a lot like Tzatziki. It gives it a nice kick and hopefully wards off some colds, which we are so prone to at this time of the year.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of labneh/greek yogurt/hung curd cheese ( you can substitute part cottage cheese for a protein boost)
- 1 small carrot peeled
- 1 small cucumber peeled
- 1/4 of red pepper
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
- couple of pinches sugar
- 1 glove garlic (optional)
- lemon juice (use it if the yogurt isn't tangy enough)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
Place the veggies and garlic in a food processor and process till finely minced. Mix everything together. Season to taste. Serve with toasted pitas or veggies. It also makes a great sandwich spread.
This pretty peachy dip goes to Aparna , she's hosting Sunshine Mom's FIC- Orange this month.

This looks delicious, I love vegetables and dip!
Hmm ... maybe I can use just hung curd ... but guess the cheese is needed to give a little texture/body. Sounds good Bharti ... and I love garlic. :-)
anything with yogurt has to be good (IMHO:)
this looks delicious - garlic and yogurt! mmm.
looking good!I'm going to try adding cheese to mine too.
I love dips .. this one looks good
I love the sound of this dip, looks yum :-)
Bharti, I love all the veggies that go into the dip. Veggies with veggies, what a great idea :)
I love yogurt based dips for their tang. And you are right...this will make a great sandwich spread.
A delicious looking and sounding dip. That its healthy is a definite plus!
Thanks for being a part of FIC Orange.
sounds really yummy. Never made dip before. will try this one
this is something i'd love to make. organic sour cream would make his even quicker if there's no hun yogurt.
the dip looks delicious! And easy to make...just the way i like it :)
Cooling dip,a very healthy choice for snacking.
Love it, appetizing...
yoghurt and garlic are a match made in heaven, so this will be lovely..gonna try this soon with and without the cheese. The orange specks make this looks like a crab dip i once accidentally had...was tasty though!
Tasty dip it looks yummy!
sounds delightful, definitely i have to check it.
Love Tzatziki. Must try this - am on a mission to get my kids off Ranch dressing/dip. Don't know where they acquired that taste! (Oh, in MN)
