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. :-).
