Simple Homemade Veggie Dip

I tried a new recipe the other day and it turned out to be quite a flop. It sounded like a great idea: veggie fries. The recipe called for a variety of veggies dipped in flour, beaten eggs, and a bread crumb mixture then baked. I was excited to find a healthy replacement for french fries, but neither my husband or I liked them. We ended up eating only a few each then threw out the rest. However, the recipe also suggested a homemade dip for them, which was simply delightful. It was incredibly simple to make, and in the future this is definitely going to be my new go-to recipe for raw veggies.


Simple Homemade Veggie Dip
Total time: 3 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1 (6 oz) container Greek Fat Free plain yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 Tbsp dried dill weed, or to taste

Directions

  1. In small bowl, mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until needed.


I always enjoy making as much as I can on my own, instead of store bought goods, because that way I know exactly what we are eating. Not to mention the possibilities are endless when creating your own dishes. The recipe I used called for 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (basil, dill, oregano, and/or thyme), but all I had was dried dill weed so I made do, and I was thrilled with the result. In the future I will make no alterations to my veggie dip (the above recipe).

Please feel free to attempt, tweak, and enjoy this simple guest impresser.
