Mediterranean Feast

Dana had the interns and some of her friends over to her house tonight for a MEDITERRANEAN FEAST... and a feast it was.

Our Contribution (and by our, I mean Jo's)

Tsatziki = Soft yogurt with cucumber

Ingredients

1 large tub of Greek Yogurt (we used 2 cups of plain Oikos)

1 cucumber

1/2 tsp salt

1 garlic clove

2 tb snipped fresh dill

2 tb olive oil

1. Place cucumber in a colander, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat. Place the colander in the sink and let drain 15 minutes.

2. Spread out cucumbers on paper towels. Roll up and squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. Chop cucumber into small pieces.

3. In a bowl, mix cucumbers, greek yogurt, garlic, dill, and oil.

Serve with slices of red, yellow, and green peppers, carrots, cucumbers, or whole wheat pita bread.

*GREEK YOGURT = we substituted greek yogurt instead of yogurt cheese. Greek yogurt is low cal but very high in protein.

This dip was a HUGE hit tonight. Well balanced in protein (from Greek yogurt) and healthy fats (olive oil). Give it a try at your next party!
