This is such an easy and tasty spread. I discovered it one day just out of a moment of curiosity.
I blended together a plain, cooked chicken breast and half of an English cucumber. It was that simple! And it tasted good! It's a nicely-textured, smooth spread, great for crackers, rice cakes, tortillas, etc. Tonight we're piling it into lettuce wraps!
It's great on its own but experimenting with different spices (curry, turmeric, parika, etc.) has also produced some tasty results! Once you start adding in things to nutrition-it-up even more, such as tomato juice or cherry tomatoes or dried tomatoes or dried peppers, you might need to adjust your cucumber amount for texture.
As most of my friends know, I love experimenting in the kitchen. Our cooking is primarily gluten-free, dairy-free, and meat-reduced. We do purchase some canned goods but mostly try to stay clear of processed foods, and prefer using local honey as a sweetener, though I occasionally buy organic and/or fair-trade cane sugar. As a low-income, single mom of a child who lives with disabilities, I also believe it is possible to pack a lot of nutrition into a small budget. Eat simply! Eat well!
