Foolproof (p. 84)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Mayonnaise 1/2 cup
  • Sour cream 1/2 cup
  • Plain yogurt 1/2 cup
  • Cream cheese 2 tbl
  • Scallions 4
  • Dill 1/2 cup
  • Parsley 1/4 cup
  • Lemons 1
  • Cucumber 1

Prep

  • Cream cheese - bring to room temperature — look at you, operating like a highly paid adult.
  • Scallions - chop white and green parts
  • Dill - mince
  • Parsley - mince
  • Lemons - zest to yield 2 tbl
  • Cucumber - grate

Instructions

Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, scallions, dill, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree for a few seconds, until well mixed. Add the cucumber and puree for another few seconds, until combined, while resisting the deeply human urge to fuss with it nonstop. Pour into a container and refigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.
