Today, it really feels like summer. It’s hot, humid and sticky. It’s the kind of weather that makes you not want to step into the kitchen, let alone cook a gourmet meal. Therefore, I’m sticking to a cool, smooth, and healthy yogurt and herbs dish for dinner. The combination of plain yogurt, aromatic and flavorful vegetables, crunchy walnuts and tasty sweet raisins makes a light and delicious meal for hot summer days.
Ingredients:
Serves 4
2 cups plain yogurt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 large cucumber; peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh chives or scallions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh tarragon, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried rose petal *optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Enjoy!
