You know how you hear of most people gaining weight in the heart of the winter?
Not me.
Why? You may ask (or may not ask…)
Though I was born in Illinois, I am a Wisconsinite through and through. I love cheese right after my family and friends and I have to admit I have a penchant for beer and brats.
So, at a summer party I belly up to the snack table and begin a slow graze.
Happy as a clam.
So, in the spirit of skinny, I created this Veggie Dill Dip for a little summer get together we were having.
I have to say I think I liked it as much as sour cream and onion dip. (For the taste, but also for the fact that I wasn’t feeling I needed to run in place after eating it). I used the leftovers in wraps, which was good too. So hear you go…
(Skinny!) Veggie Dill Dip
Healthy grazing…
Here’s What You Need:
60z plain Greek yogurt (I like Chobani)
8oz low fat cream cheese
2 1/2-3 tsps of fresh dill, chopped (or to taste)
1/2 cup of baby carrots
1 small zucchini, roughly chopped (or about 3/4 cup)
1/2 tsp salt + extra seasoned salt (I like Penzey’s)
Pepper
Dippers: Like carrots, broccoli and pretzels
Here’s What You Do:
Mix the yogurt, cream cheese, dill, and the veggies in the food processor or heavy duty blender until blended. (It works best if you do the veggies first.) Add in the salts and the pepper to taste.
Kid Tip:
I think that snacking my be heriditary, because my boys are always begging to climb up on the counter to look in the snack cabinent. (A zillion times a day)
So, they were happy to indulge in this dip aka -snack.

Oh, yeah! This is SO much better than sour cream onion dip!
This sounds great! I love that you use yogurt instead of sour cream! Definitely keeping this recipe on hand!
Thanks Jessica! I also think it would be good with curry too!
This is a must share recipe. I love that you’ve used Greek yogurt and cream cheese. The combination with the fresh veggies sounds fantastic. Have a good weekend!
Oh thanks Kristi!
This looks yummy. I am always looking for a yummy dip that my 4 year old will eat. She doesn’t like ranch. I’m going to try this one!
Thanks Patti! Cute stuff on your website by the way!
i love using dill in any and everything. this dip sounds wonderful
Thanks Jessica! Let me know if you try it!
Summer dips and snacks are a huge weakness of mine too…one I don’t try too hard to resist, I’ll admit! Dips like this one are perfect to have on hand for cravings!
I agree! I have made this three times already.
This sounds really great. I have a bunch of dill right now in my fridge I’d like to use up.
Super! Let me know if you make it
I looove dill as a cool summer flavor! I also like how you hid veggies in this
Thanks Katie!
