In our quest to improve the health of the TR family, we’ve begun trying to limit the amount of salty snacks and sour cream based dips that we consume. These snacks are especially enjoyed by the TR adults after the kiddoes have trundled off to bed. So we’ve been searching for ways to continue the fun of a late night snack, without as much added fat and carbs.
Voila! We turned to yogurt-based dips complimented by raw veggies, and a few pretzels, for a delightful little snack. After some trial and error, we landed on a tasty dip that comes together in about five minutes. Here is our first recipe.
Yogurt Dip
1 ½ cups plain yogurt (there are several organic/ non-hormone brands available in most grocery stores)
1/3 cup crumbled feta
2 T diced fresh cilantro
1 t Ground cumin
1 sliced scallion
Mix well. Add a pinch of black pepper or chili powder if you wish for a bit more Ooomph.
Serve with sliced cucumbers, carrot sticks, fresh pepper slices, and/or pretzels.
