]]> Mango Avocado Salsa 002

I could probably live on salsa..every type of salsa. Sweet, spicy..all kinds.
This is my favorite salsa of all times. It’s sweet from the mango and creamy from the avocado and a little spicy from the onion and cilantro. It’s just plain glorious.
Throw it on some chips, add it atop grilled chicken, salmon, salad..the possibilities are endless.
I normally use red onion for some color, but I forgot and got a Vidalia/sweet onion and it turned out perfect, it is just missing the pop of color from the red onion.

And how cute are my daughters chubby little 7 year old fingers holding the mango….I can’t stand it!

]]> Sour Cream Dip

If you crave “salty”, I got your “salty” right here.

I am not a big fan of prepackage dips. I don’t know, something just always seems to taste a bit off.

I don’t usually buy potato chips. Only for special occasions and parties. Not because I don’t LOVE them, it’s just my will power issue that we all are well aware of. I am sure I would sit down and eat a whole bag without even thinking of it. So my whole theory is, that if I don’t buy it, I can’t eat it.

Soooo, when I do have a big ol’ bag of chips in my house, I have to make a nice creamy dip.

There is nothing fancy, and no special ingredients in this. I am sure you have it all in your house right now.

So if you have chips and are craving a super yummy and easy dip, well here ya go……..

I am going to admit something that might just be Earth shattering, I am not a fan of cucumbers. Strange, I know, especially since I love these. If a cucumber harbors in my salad, I will pick it out like a 3 year old child. So it is quite bizarre that I like this dip.

Tzatziki is a Greek Yogurt dip with cucumbers and dill. It is amazing. So fresh and heathy for you(another shocker). I like my Tzatziki really garlicky and dill-y. You know the kind of dip that you need a breath mint after eating….yeppers, this is that kind! I always serve mine with salted pita chips.

So even if you are a cucumber hater like I am, I am sure you will love this dip!

Tzatziki

Recipe type: Dip

Serves: 10
 

A healthy Greek Yogurt Dip, infused with garlic and dill.
Ingredients
  • 1½ English or hothouse cucumbers, shredded
  • 1 16oz. container Greek yogurt (I use fat free)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (I use fat free)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 1½ Tablespoons dill ( I use Gourmet Garden Dill Herb Blend)

Instructions
  1. Shred cucumbers with a box grader over a colander and allow for the liquid to drain out. Keep in the colander in the sink.
  2. In a medium bowl mix the yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, salt/pepper and dill.
  3. Squeeze the as much excess liquid from the cucumbers as you can.
  4. Stir the cucumber into the dip.
  5. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Notes
You can find the Gourmet Garden Dill Herb Blend in the produce section along with the herbs. It is in a squeeze bottle with a green lid. If you can not fin this, you can use 1½ tablespoons dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill. Make this dip 1 day in advance. The flavors will mix together and taste sooooo much better. When I shred the cucumbers, I shred half on the medium side of the box grater and half on the large hole side of the grater.

BLOG REDESIGN HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK, so hopefully we wont have much longer with this dreaded gray background!
 
There are two things that I always have in my fridge, buttermilk and heavy cream. I don’t fit in my jeans? hmmm wonder why. Anyway, when I go to the grocery store I seem to often forget to pick up sour cream. Why, I don’t know. Maybe the “Do the dollop of Daisy” commercial annoys me and I turn my head when I walk by the sour cream. Who knows what goes on in my demented mind.
So, do you have a sour cream forgetful mind? Have no fear Crème fraiche is here.
What is this you say, some fancy french word on The Hungry Housewife blog. I know, I know, I am sorry. 
Crème fraiche is a french word meaning fresh cream. However, it is anything but “fresh” cream. It is actually soured cream.  And you, yes you can make it at home, cause try to find it at your local grocery store…ain’t happening in these parts.
Crème fraiche can be substituted for sour cream in any recipe. They taste VERY similar, however Crème fraiche is not as sour. And you wanna know the best part??? It does not curdle. So go ahead and throw it in your slow cooker, go ahead and throw it in your hot sauce in the saucepan…no lumps!!! You can also sweeten it and serve it over fresh fruit…yum. And since it is made from heavy cream, you can whisk it and make a nice thick whipped cream texture.
You need TWO ingredient and 15 seconds to pour it in a glass jar and then 8-24 hours of resting time. Thats it! Now you can always have some highfalutin Crème fraiche on hand.
Crème Fraiche
8 oz Heavy Cream (not ultra pasteurized)
2 Tbsp Buttermilk
Pour the heavy cream in a glass jar with a lid (like a mason jar) add the Buttermilk.
Stir, lightly cover and let it sit out on the counter for 8-24 hours. It is done when it is the consistency of sour cream. Stir. Cover tightly. Keeps in the fridge for 7-10 days.
*You can use ultra pasteurized heavy cream, but it might take longer to set up. I have also used Ultra Pasteurized Heavy Whipping cream and it works fine*
