Any dieting recipes? Any new salad recipes?

Refreshing, delicious, and healthy. I make this often. My husband really loves this served as a spread with whole wheat crackers. It is also good as a pita bread filling.Note: Go easy on the cayenne red pepper, as the heat increases as the flavors blend. From Betty Crocker.








1 medium cucumber


6 radishes


4 green onions


2 cups cream-style cottage cheese


1/3 cup sour cream


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon pepper


1 dash red cayenne pepper


lettuce cups (optional)








Cut cucumber lengthwise into fourths, then into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut radishes into halves and onions into 1 1/2-inch pieces.


Place vegetables in blender container; add enough water to cover. Cover and blend on high speed until finely chopped; drain completely. (Can use your food processor, or vegetables can be finely chopped by hand).


Mix cottage cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper and red pepper; stir in vegetables.


I like to cover and refrigerate for several hours to let the flavors blend.


Spoon into lettuce cups and, if desired, garnish with sliced ripe olives.

I make a ';Smoothie'; type drink almost daily. Very low fat, satisfies sweet tooth (mine is huge), and very filling. I have a very cheap smoothie machine that I got at WalMart. You can do this in a blender.


1)Skim (fat free milk) about 8 0z. - 12 oz.


2)Any fruit (I use a banana, or crushed pineapple in its own juice, or strawberries, dried cranberries or a combination)


3) 1 pkg. artificial sweetener (equal, sweet-n-low, etc.)


4) Ice


Blend until smooth. (You can add vanilla, or maple, or any flavoring to this while it is blending. I have even added a couple squirts of lemon when I used plain yogurt because I had no fruit.)Any dieting recipes? Any new salad recipes?
Try grated carrot with shredded coconut and lots of lemon juice. It is Delicious.
If you're looking for healthy type recipes, go to ';My Yahoo'; here on yahoo.com. On the left side there should be 2 recipes of the day. One of those is mainly health food, but still quite delicious. I made orange crepes that were 100 calories apiece, and they tasted like they had 10 times that number. I think its epicurious.com, but I can't be sure.





EDIT: Whoa, nix that. It's not epicurious. It's called ';Today's Recipe'; simply enough, and it comes from FoodFit.
