This chilled soup makes a wonderful appetizer or side on a hot summer day. Bright bursts of dill provide a pleasant contrast to the milder flavor of cucumber.—Deirdre Dee Cox, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
1 pound cucumbers, peeled, seeded and sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
1 green onion, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
4-1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill
additional chopped green onion and snipped fresh dill
Directions:
1. In a colander set over a bowl, toss cucumbers with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes. Squeeze and pat dry.
2. Place the cucumbers, yogurt, onion and garlic in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Stir in dill. Serve immediately in chilled bowls. Garnish with additional onion and dill. Yield: 7 servings.
