CREAMY CUCUMBER DIP - WEIGHT WATCHERS

Creamy Cucumber Dip - Weight Watchers image

Don't let the WW fool you. This dip is delicious and I did fool my family. They loved it and didn't know it was a WW recipe. Cool and refreshing with a hint of mint! I use Greek fat free plain yogurt. Serve it with warmed pita wedges and/or fresh vegetables. Leftovers make a tasty topping for grilled chicken or lamb. Try it!
