Mediterranean Fresh Yogurt Platter
This is a light and healthy platter as refreshing as a Mediterranean breeze. Thick Greek yogurt is topped with crisp cucumber, aromatic mint, and bright lemon zest—low in calories but full of flavor. Your Geedel hand vegetable chopper quickly dices cucumber and herbs, and its spinning function keeps the cucumber extra crisp, preventing the platter from becoming watery.
Ingredients:
For the Base:
1 cup Greek yogurt
Zest of ½ lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, grated
A pinch of sea salt
For the Toppings:
1 cucumber
Handful of fresh mint leaves
For Serving:
Vegetable sticks (carrot, bell pepper)
Whole-grain crackers or toasted bread slices
Instructions:
1. Prepare crispy cucumber dice:
Peel and cut the cucumber into large chunks. Using the Geedel manual food chopper with the cross-shaped chopping blade, pulse the cucumber into small pieces. Immediately transfer the cucumber dice to the salad spinner basket, close the lid, and spin quickly to remove excess moisture.
2. Chop fresh herbs:
Place the mint leaves in the container (with the chopping blade) and pulse a few times for a rough chop.
3. Season the yogurt base:
Switch to the mixing paddle. Place Greek yogurt, lemon zest, olive oil, grated garlic, and sea salt in the container. Turn the handle to mix until well combined.
4. Assemble the platter:
Spread the seasoned yogurt on a plate. Top with the drained cucumber dice and chopped mint. Arrange vegetable sticks and crackers around the edges, and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
Summary:
The charm of this healthy platter lies in its contrast of textures and pure flavors. The Geedel food chopper not only preps ingredients efficiently but also, with its spinning function, keeps cucumber pieces crisp and prevents the yogurt from thinning—making it the ideal tool for creating refreshing appetizers.
