Roasted Red Pepper Yogurt Dip

This holiday season, give the gift of home-cooked meals that are infused with flavor and nutrition.  This Roasted Red Pepper dip is made with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream or mayonnaise, making it a low calorie alternative, that’s also a good source of calcium and protein!  It’s filled with vegetables like roasted red peppers and artichokes.  And it is delicious on tortilla chips or crackers, vegetables or even spread onto a wrap for a quick and easy meal. 

To help you have a dairy good holiday (see what I did there!), use Greek yogurt in your dip recipes.  It has a tangy flavor (similar to sour cream) and a creamy texture, making it the perfect substitute.  Greek yogurt is strained to remove much of the liquid whey, lactose and sugar, giving it a thicker consistency and twice the protein and roughly half the carbohydrates as compared to regular yogurt.  Regular low fat yogurt is also a good choice for other types of recipes, but Greek yogurt remains a great substitute for sour cream!
