SUMMER BLUSH DIP



Summer Blush Dip image

I needed a quick dip to make the other night, and found this recipe from Heinz. This tasted so much like a dip I buy at the deli, and yet for something that is so simple this dip is so expensive to buy......so why pay top price and buy a dip when something is so very easy to make and tastes great, if not better than bought ones! Serve with your favourite water cracker or bread. Cooking time is the time for refigeration time.

Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

250 g Quark (may use cream cheese per Note #1)
140 g low-fat yogurt (see Note #2)
1 garlic clove (crushed)
2 green onions (finely chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
2 tablespoons of fresh mint (chopped, may use coriander)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Mix quark & yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add next 7 ingredients (garlic thru lemon juice).
  • Mix well, taste & season w/salt & pepper to pers pref. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hrs b4 serving.
  • NOTE #1: I confess I have not used Quark as an ingredient & do not know if I can get it here in Iceland. However, Roz said "Quark makes a quick light dip & has fewer calories than richer cream cheese." Taking this cue from her, my assumption is cream cheese may be used as an alternative to quark.
  • NOTE #2: As written the recipe offered a choice of using single cream OR low-fat yogurt. I opted for the latter, but the former may be your choice. Feel free. :-).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your dip.
  • Hull and slice the strawberries before measuring. This will help to ensure that you have the correct amount of strawberries.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese. This will give your dip a richer, creamier texture.
  • Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before using. This will make it easier to mix and will help to prevent lumps.
  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dip, making it lighter and fluffier.
  • Add the strawberries and beat until just combined. Overmixing will make the dip too runny.
  • Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the dip thicker.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers, such as graham crackers, fruit, or cookies.
