Spicy Rice and Bean Dip (plus a Riceland giveaway!)

September 15, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner 18 Comments

This spicy rice and bean dip is perfect for any gathering!

Here in the South we love our chip and dip. Tuesday night I made a spicy rice and bean dip for book club. It was my turn to host, and we just happened to be discussing my book, The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. For a new author like me, this is an exciting thing. It can also feel a little intimidating because, when you think about it, you’ve asked people to take a gander at your  innermost thoughts and give feedback.

While they drink wine.

No biggie.

Low Calorie Dill Dip

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.
