Yoghurt lemon dip

Greek yoghurt is very high in protein. (Trader Joe’s sell a delicious creamy nonfat one with 17 grams of protein in 3/4 cup) I love using preserved lemons but you can always substitute fresh lemon juice and can add some grated lemon rind for a kick.

Ingredients:

• 1/8 preserved lemon, rinsed (or juice of 1 lemon)

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1/3 cup fresh basil, parsley or cilantro

• 2-3 T light miso

• 3/4 cup greek plain yoghurt

• 2 T rice vinegar

• 2-3 T salsa (Trader Joe’s pumpkin seed salsa is nice)

• salt and pepper to taste

Here’s How:

1. Place fresh garlic, and preserved lemon in a food processor and blend.

2. Add herbs and blend.

3. Add remaining ingredients leaving yoghurt for last and lightly pulse.

4. Chill and serve with veggies, or as a topping for salmon or poultry.
