Summer is almost here!! And cucumbers are so perfect for that source of Vitamin C that we keep talking about. Ok.. time to introduce yet another favorite of mine, actually ours – my boyfriend and I love to indulge on yogurt. And we can pretty much have it everyday with anything, and one of us has to literally intervene and close the yogurt tub to stop!
This recipe is mostly about the filling, which can also be used as a dip if you grind all of the ingredients for the filing. Enjoy and gobble gobble people!!
