Indian Spiced Cilantro Dip

This is a great one point snack! Eat it with raw veggies or toasted pita or naan bread. I think I may try a hummus dip based off of this recipe too. The consistency of this dip is looser than that of hummus so I think the addition of chickpeas could be good. I will experiment and post my results if it works out well!


Ingredients:
2 cups cilantro, fresh, chopped (plus extra for garnish if desired)
1 1/2 cups nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
1 cup mint leaves, fresh, chopped (plus extra for garnish if desired)
1/4 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise
3 Tbsp red onion, diced
1 tsp ginger root, fresh, grated
1 tsp curry powder, Madras variety
3/4 tsp table salt

Directions:
Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor until well-mixed.

Transfer to a serving bowl; cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Yields about 1/4 cup per serving.

Servings: 8
Points: 1

That sounds yummy. Your home renovation pictures are great. You love some bold colors and I love how your dog just randomly shows up in pictures.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

That looks so good! I'll have to try it soon...with veggies though. If there is naan, or pita, around I will polish off all 8 servings myself!

This looks very tasty. Chick peas would make a nice addition. I think Butter Beans would be another possibility.

This looks beautiful. I think it would make a really nice addition to hummus, or even as a dressing if it was thinner.
