Yogurt dip recipes make it more fun (and delish!) to eat your vegetables. It's an easy appetizer to put out at parties, plus dips are also a great way to make sure that picky kids are getting their daily dose of produce, too. Sure those extra rich or extra cheesy dips taste delicious, but if you are trying to keep up with your healthy eating habits, you don't want to load carrots, celery and cucumbers with tons of heavy mayonnaise and sour cream. So, let's lighten things up with the 30 best Greek yogurt dip recipes to make veggies, chips, and crackers taste delicious.
Whether it's summertime and you are looking for more ways to eat all of the fresh produce that you've picked up at the farmers market, or you are packing lunches during the school year hoping that your kids will eat their veggies, dips are the way to go. Plus, some of these can even double as dressing for your favorite salads and they make great low-carb party appetizers.
What Are Some of the Best Greek Yogurt Dip Recipes?
From classic to creative, there are so many options for dips made with Greek yogurt. You can find all of these ideas by clicking through the slideshow, but are are some of my favorites:
Ranch Dip: This herby classic is always a favorite, whether you are pouring Ranch dressing over your salad or dunking your chicken wings. Start with Greek yogurt and stir in a seasoning packet, make it from scratch with fresh herbs, or try the version in the slideshow made entirely with dried seasonings from your pantry.
Spinach Dip: Whether hot or cold, Greek yogurt is a great substitute for the mayo or sour cream in many of the original versions of this dip.
Onion Dip: No need to open up one of those cans or jars that have a weird flavor, texture, and ingredients. You can always use a packet of onion soup mix with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, but making your own caramelized onions to create your own onion dip has an unbeatable flavor.
Tzatziki: This is the traditional dip that was made with Greek yogurt before it even became a trend. Filled with cucumbers and herbs, it has a fresh flavor that is great to pair with your favorite Mediterranean recipes or just to dunk your veggies.
And much more!
