Cold Creamy Curried Carrot Cucumber Thing
Tonight I finally get to cook dinner. I made something taillored to these super hot summer days, and very vaguely Indian-inspired.
Here's the idea:
a yellow squash
a cucumber
carrots
Quorn, eggwhites, or other protein source
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
curry powder, garlic powder, minced dried onion, dash half salt, dash of hot chili powder
flax and olive oil
juice of fresh lemon
dice it all up, mix together cold. serve cold. adjust the spices to taste.
Nice dish for these hot days! Wish I'd had the sense to make a few days back when it was truly sweltering.
Yogurt is so versitile. It can be sweet, savory, hot, cold, a creamy addition to a soup, a filling salad dressing, or a stand-alone dish. I don't know what I'd do without it.
It's finally a bit cooler here and we've opened all the windows and doors to let the delicious cool air in. MR enjoyed the dinner immensely. I have to work all day Sunday, but at least I'll get tomorrow to grocery shop, clean, and hang out with my MR and my kitties.
