Designing your own dip flavors
One of my favorite reasons to make my own chip dip is that I can flavor it to suit the occassion.
Here are a few ways to customize this creamy vegetable dip:
- Cheese dip: Replace the yogurt with a soft cheese like cream cheese or goat cheese.
- Spinach dip: Defrost a package of frozen spinach. Squeeze the spinach to remove all the extra water. Then mix it in a blender with 1 clove of garlic and 2 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese. Puree everything, then stir in the yogurt and mayonnaise.
- Tomato dip: This is a riff off of one of my favorite dip flavors. Don’t add the dill or the salt. Instead flavor the dip with 2 Tbsp of tomato paste, 1 Tbsp of tamari, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
- Pesto dip: Instead of dill and chives, add 1/4 cup of fresh basil and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.
- Low-fat: Use low-fat yogurt in the recipe for both the mayonnaise and yogurt. It won’t be quite as creamy, but it will still be flavorful!
- High-fat: Use homemade sour cream instead of yogurt for a high-fat and probiotic dip.
