This recipe is easy to prepare if you need a quick and healthy appetizer for your family or to bring to a spring or summer party!
This vegetable dip is a great appetizer with a healthier twist, as it uses Greek yogurt as the base instead of mayonnaise and sour cream. It is easy to double or triple to serve more! You can easily prepare vegetables of your choice to serve with the dip or purchase premade trays available in many grocery stores.
Here are some extra tips:
- If you want to try fresh parsley instead of dried parsley flakes, substitute 1–2 tablespoons of fresh parsley in the recipe.
- Use the dip as a spread for a sandwich or wrap.
- Use the dip with the Spend Smart. Eat Smart. recipe for Baked Tortilla Chips.
