1 c Peeled, seeded, diced tomato
1 lg Clove garlic
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 ts Dry mustard
2 tb Fresh lemon juice
4 Sprigs fresh parsley
1 c Low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 c Dill pickle juice

To peel and seed tomatoes, bring a pot of water to a
boil, drop in the tomatoes, and boil for about 10
seconds. Remove the tomatoes with a slotted spoon and
slip off the skins. Core the tomatoes, cut them into
quarters, and squeeze gently to squeeze out the juice
and seeds. Blend the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper,
dry mustard, and lemon juice in a blender or food
processor until smooth. Pour into a bowl. Blend the
cottage cheese and pickle juice until smooth. Beat
together the tomato puree, cottage cheese puree,
pickles and egg. Chill to blend flavors for at least 1
hour before serving.
