Skinny Feta-Yogurt Dip

This vegetarian, skinny dip is so easy to make and really fantastic tasting. It’s become my go-to dip since everyone loves it!  So decadent tasting, it’s hard to believe it’s made with all fat-free ingredients except 1 tablespoon olive oil. Each tablespoon has just 33 calories and 1 gram of fat.  It will keep in the refrigerator for several days. So versatile, it’s great to serve for company and makes a terrific snack or even a spread for turkey, roast beef or vegetarian sandwiches.

Helpful Tips About this Recipe

Healthy Benefits

All yogurts are excellent sources of calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. What distinguishes Greek yogurt is its thicker, creamier texture because the liquid whey is strained out. Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts.

Shopping Tips

Fat-free feta cheese is sold in most supermarkets and Trader Joe’s.
You’ll find Chobani Greek yogurt in most supermarkets or use your favorite.
