Want a new way to enjoy fresh vegetables? This Feta Basil Greek Yogurt Dip is light and makes vegetables much more fun to eat!

Basil Feta Greek Yogurt Dip

Eating raw vegetables is a really good thing for your body. But let’s be honest. Raw vegetables can be b-o-r-i-n-g. The only people on this planet who might disagree are my kids, who are the plainest eaters I know and like their vegetables best raw and plain. Weirdos.

Basil Feta Greek Yogurt DipLet’s focus on the rest of the world. The rest of the world likes a little dip for their raw veggies. But sometimes, that dip can ruin the whole raw vegetable thing. You were going to have a healthy snack and then added a calorie bomb of a dip and turned your snack into a meal. Whoops. Basil Feta Greek Yogurt DipThis Basil Feta Greek Yogurt Dip is different. It’s full of flavor, yet light. Your standard ranch dip has over 100 calories per 2 tablespoons. This dip has just over 50 for the same serving size. Half the calories!

I’m definitely not a calorie-counter, per say, but I do know that things like dip can easily add more calories to my day than I need. The older I get, the more I have to be cognizant of how much I’m eating. This dip makes it easier!

Can we just talk about the flavor for a minute? The star of my little garden this summer is the basil. I’ve been picking basil leaves just about every other day and eating it in everything! It’s glorious. I love basil. Putting it in this dip was a fantastic idea. If you’re a basil lover like me, you’ll love this. It pairs well with the feta and tangy Greek yogurt. There’s also a touch of lemon and garlic. The larger the garlic clove, the stronger the flavor, so I suggest a small clove. You don’t want the garlic to take over. Let that basil shine.

If you’re looking for a lighter dip to help you enjoy raw vegetables, you’ve found your recipe.

*A note about the serving size listed on the nutritional label. I put this as 1 serving so you could see the nutritional content of the whole recipe. How many this serves depends on if you are eating it alone as a snack (maybe 4 or 5?) or as part of a spread at a party with other appetizers (more). Usually dips list serving size as 1 or 2 tablespoons, which isn’t very realistic in my opinion!

 

Basil Feta Greek Yogurt Dip Recipe. This is a healthy vegetable dip recipe that is perfect as a healthy appetizer idea or a healthy snack idea! Low calorie and gluten-free snack.
