Creamy Cucumber Dill Yogurt Dip
This Tzatziki-style dip is simple to make and offers healthy protein along with a ton of flavor! With 7 grams of protein and less than 50 calories per serving, this dip is the perfect addition to any holiday party – without that heavy holiday food feeling!
Ingredients (serves 6):
1 1/2 C 0% fat, plain Greek yogurt
3/4 C fresh cucumber, diced (make sure to dice into very tiny pieces)
1 1/2 Tbsp dried dill weed
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
dash salt
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and serve chilled. How easy is that?!
*Serve with veggies, crackers, pita or use as a topper for grilled chicken, fish, meat or anything!
Note: This dip is best when served immediately, as the cucumbers can make the dip watery if left to sit for too long. If you are making this dip ahead of time, allow the cucumbers to drain on a paper towel in the fridge for a few hours so that they don’t hold as much water. This dip is still great as leftovers, but if entertaining it is best to make just prior to serving.
