Crudités (pronounced crew-dee-tay) are a popular French appetizer which consist of sliced or whole small vegetables and served with an appropriate dip.
As for the people who is on going with any weight loss program, I am suggesting this to be your between meals snacks.
Ingredients:
- Asparagus
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Carrot
- Green Bean
* All these vegetables requires *blanching -- to taste a little better and are more digestible if they have been cooked slightly for minute or two.
**Blanching is a cooking term that describes a process of food preparation wherein the food substance, usually a vegetable or fruit, is plunged into boiling water, removed after a brief, timed interval, and finally plunged into iced water or placed under cold running water (shocked) to halt the cooking process.
- Celery
- Cucumber
- Zucchini
- Capsicum
- Radish
- Cherry Tomato
* served raw
Cheese Dip
You can make your own cheese dip using cream cheese.
- whipped butter
- cream cheese - thawed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp each basil, dill weed, black pepper, thyme (up to your taste bud)
Directions:
Blend all ingredients together in a food processor fitted with metal blade. Transfer to a bowl or container, and let sit in the refrigerator for two hours or more before serving, to allow the flavors to combine.
Or if you're in a hurry, just grab a pack of Boursin cheese in the grocery store.
Tips: Bring it to the office as a between meals snacks as a replacement of crackers/cheezels/twisties etc..
Isn't it a healthier choice, low in calories, and yet still satisfyingly crunchy, sweet, and fresh tasting.
Last but not least..
Lose weight, feel great!
