In developing this recipe, I was inspired by Debbie Does Dinner. I love the idea of a low-calorie and low-fat veggie dip. It makes sense, doesn't it? If I'm going muster up the strength to bypass the cookies and snack on some carrot sticks, I don't want to ruin the effort with an unhealthy dip.
This dip uses Greek yogurt as its base, which has a similar taste and texture to sour cream but sports a much friendlier nutrition label. One batch of this recipe contains roughly 75 calories and 4 grams of fat, and makes enough to share with a couple of friends.
VEGGIE DIP
1/3 c fat-free Greek yogurt
1 tbsp light mayonnaise
1/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp dried dill weed
1/2 tsp freeze dried chives
1/8 tsp onion powder
1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Enjoy with cut veggies.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a delicious alternative to fattening dips. With the holidays just ahead it is great to have a recipe like this for the rotation. This is my first visit to your blog, soI took some time to browse through your earlier entries. I'm so glad I did that. You've created a great spit for your readers to visit and I really enjoyed the time I spent here. I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I've no idea what seasoned salt is, but I think I can probably find it in the spices aisle (I hope!).
ReplyDeleteI think maybe I'll make some this week to eat with veggies to make up for all the candy I've been eating for Halloween!
Abby, Why didn't I think of this? I am sure glad you did! I have a house full of young adults this weekend and I am making your dip! It looks scrumptious! A great way to get protein and calcium in my diet too!
