Ranch dip alternative?
Reader Emma asked for a good yogurt-based dip recipe to replace the low-fat ranch dip she’s become addicted to. Well, you ask, I deliver! Here’s a recipe for Greek-style cucumber and yogurt dip that I’ve modified from the original to be a little healthier.
In a food processor/blender, combine the following ingredients (makes 6 servings):
- 1 1/2 C plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 C low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 English cucumber (unpeeled), chopped
- 1 T dry dill (if using fresh, use 2 T)
- 2 T lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- a few green onions (to taste)
- salt/pepper (to taste)
Let me know how it compares to the ranch dip!
