I am also obsessed with appetizers of any kind. Give me a bunch of hand-held snacks and I’m one happy girl. I could live off of just appetizers along.
So, naturally, I love dips. Is there anything better than a creamy dip with lots of yummy veggies to munch on? I think not! But I may be biased here.
Also, dips are generally super easy to make. Literally, mix together a few ingredients and you are good to go. This Greek Yogurt Dip is the same way. There are some fresh herbs and olives in it you need to chop up and that’s the hardest part.
ALTERNATIVES AND AD-INS:
Even though this dip is super simple and made with wholesome ingredients, I do understand that you might not always have all these ingredients on hand.
To make this dip a little simpler you can just mix together the Greek yogurt, heavy cream, garlic, feta cheese, and kalamata olives. It will still be extremely delicious but the extra ingredients in the recipe below give it an extra kick!
This recipe makes enough to feed a crowd, feel free to halve the ingredients if you plan on using it just for snacking for a couple of people.
WHAT GOES WITH THIS DIP?
You can also serve this dip with pita chips or crackers. It also makes an amazing spread for bagels, wraps, or even in place of mayo on a sandwich!
There are no set rules on how you want to use this dip as we have used it in various ways and we love it on and in so many different things, so whatever you think it would taste great on I would say go for it!
IS GREEK YOGURT DIP HEALTHY?
Believe me, this dip is amazing and totally addictive. It’s made with whole fresh ingredients so you know you can feel good about eating it!
Like with most things, Greek Yogurt Dip should be consumed in moderation. Dairy naturally has a lot of good fats in it, so they are heavy calorie-wise.
However, since this dip is homemade and made fresh, we know exactly what is going in it making it a great alternative to store-bought dips.
You can even make Healthy Greek Yogurt Buffalo Chicken Dip for a spicy kick!
You can also make Greek yogurt ranch dip and Greek yogurt dip for fruit too! The possibilities are endless! There is so much that you can do with greek yogurt itself that it is one of my favorite ingredients!
We try to keep it on hand for various things such as dips, sauces, marinades, baking, etc. It is really an all-purpose ingredient that I believe everyone should have on hand.
HOW TO STORE?
You can store this dip in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it should last for up to 3-4 days.
This dip can also be frozen, just place it in a container suited for the freezer, make sure it is airtight. Then, wrap the container generously in plastic wrap.
This will keep for up to 2 months. When this dip is stored in the refrigerator or freezer, it might separate slightly. No worries! Just stir it up again and you are good to go.
