Low Calorie Dill Dip

June 27, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

low calorie dill dip

 

Growing up our favorite dips were Ro-tel cheese and French onion dip. Both delicious. Both high fat. (Okay I admit I still love Ro-tel, but I don’t need the calories.) I’m growing dill in my garden. It smells so wonderful, and I’m constantly looking for ways to use it. This dill dip recipe is a great alternative to the calorie-laden dips made with sour cream. When it gets warm and the party moves poolside, snacking on chips and dip is always part of the equation. This recipe will not add to your waistline. And I promise you will not realize this is made with Greek yogurt. Give it a try. The fresh dill and lemon juice make it fresh and flavorful.

    Ahhh, Rotel cheese. When I got married (at 18), I couldn’t cook…at all. After we settled into our apartment, my first dinner for my new hubby and I was Rotel cheese dip and Fritos, with a bottle of Boone’s Farm…a nice bunch of daisies on the table, in a milk carton with the top cut off. We were living large in those days…:)

      Hi Corinne! Nice to hear from you. I’ve been missing you. I’ve been so busy working on my book, I feel like I’ve neglected everyone:(
