Cucumber and Cilantro Dip
Chips and Dip are a favorite finger food for most of us, and with a wide variety of dips available in the markets, there's no end to the choices we have. But there's nothing that comes close to a fresh dip made at home! Plus, these are the best ways to make use of veggies and ingredients we have in our pantry. The possibilities are numerous, and you can actually enjoy dips with a lot of food like your raw veggies, as a salad topping, or with your tortilla chips! Here's a simple yet tasty and nutritious recipe for a Cilantro and Cucumber dip made with light sour cream. I add some mint and green chillies for the fresh taste and a spice kick, and the resultant dip is sure to make a lovely addition to your dinner table.Ingredients
1 cup of low-fat (light) sour cream
1 fresh cucumber
a fistful of cilantro - finely chopped
6-7 mint leaves
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
salt - to taste
3 green chillies (choose the spicy ones)
Method
Mince the green chillies, cilantro, mint leaves and cucumber in a blender with one spoon of sour cream. Puree to make a smooth paste. Add this to the remaining sour cream. Add lemon juice and salt and mix well. Transfer to a serving cup and garnish with some mint leaves or cilantro and lemon rind. Enjoy this cool and refreshing dip with your chips, veggies or just as a side dish!

Only the dip is enough for me ;)
This would be cool and refreshing on the palette.
No loss of vitamins! I prefer taking them daily.
Happy Holidays, Mansi!
That looks amazing. It looks so much more refreshing than your typical dips.
nice dip! and easy recipe
:)
Yum! This looks tasty. Reminds me a little of raita. It's so great to make your own dips and not deal with all the artificial junk and hydrogenated fats in the commercial stuff. Mmmm, I may just have to make some and track down a bag of organic potato chips.
