Making healthy decisions doesn’t have to be boring. The next time a party (oh, hey Super Bowl!) calls for a dip, consider this skinny Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip. It has the perfect balance of savoriness and crunch. Crowds will rave, stomachs will be happy and your waistline will thank you.
Until you turn to Loaded BBQ Chicken Nachos or Mini Pizzas with Sausage & Peppers, but let’s assume you have some will control. Right.
Greek yogurt is a staple in my fridge. Chobani Greek yogurt, to be exact. It’s such a versatile substitute for ingredients like sour cream, oil, cream cheese and more. Don’t believe me? Make my Skinny Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo and be amazed that there is no heavy cream involved.
Unfortunately Hubs is not a fan of yogurt. Just say the word “yogurt” to him and his face scrunches up into a grimace. It’s not supposed to taste sour and not be spoiled, he says. But I’m here to tell you: Mr. I-hate-yogurt LOVED this recipe. I couldn’t come up with a better testimonial than that.
A healthy dip, without compromise to flavor. That’s my kind of appetizer!
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
- 1 package vegetable dip mix, such as Lipton Recipe Secrets
- 1 cup Chobani Plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup pecorino romano, grated
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a large bowl mix all of the ingredients until well blended.
- Taste test and adjust red pepper flakes (for spiciness), salt and pepper to your liking.
