CILANTRO DIP

I go this out of the local newspaper. I LOVE, LOVE this dip, in fact a friend of mine and I make it and finish it all in one sitting. Great with corn chips. My main suggestion is to have some sort of breath freshener available afterwards.

Use this bright green, earthy mix as a dip for crudités or a dressing for heartier salad greens like radicchio, spinach, arugula, thinly sliced fennel, or a combination. It's also terrific as a dressing, drizzled on a simple roasted or grilled chicken, meats or fish.

Categories Milk/Cream Vegetable Side Sauté Zucchini Summer Cilantro Bon Appétit France Vegetarian Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free No Sugar Added Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 pounds zucchini, trimmed, cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup whipping cream

Steps:

Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 10 seconds. Add zucchini and 2 tablespoons cilantro; sauté until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream and simmer until juices thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cilantro.

Tips:

Choose fresh, firm zucchini: This ensures a flavorful and vibrant dip.
Roast the zucchini: Roasting intensifies the zucchini's natural sweetness and brings out a smoky flavor.
Use a food processor or blender: This will create a smooth and creamy dip. If you want a chunkier dip, you can roughly chop the zucchini instead of pureeing it.
Season to taste: Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Cilantro, parsley, mint, or dill would all be great additions.
Serve with your favorite dippers: Tortilla chips, pita bread, vegetables, or crackers are all great options.

Conclusion:

Zucchini cilantro dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, healthy, and sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dip to make, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
