I'm looking for a recipe of a healthy dip that is really good. Any ideas?

Answer 1

try hummus
take one can of chickpeas - drain and peel if you have the patience.

pulse one garlic clove in the food processer, add the chickpeas, pulse again. add lots of lemon juice, salt, cumin, water to thin out. drizzle olive oil on top, garnish with parsely and paprika..

forgot to add, one tablespoon of tahini (most important ingredient!)

cucumber yogurt dip
one container of plain yogurt, one peeled and seeded cucumber shredded/grated, one mashed/minced garlic clove, salt, pepper, mint, and lemon juice - mix well.

roasted eggplant dip (babghanoush)
roast one eggplant & garlic head in the oven - spoon out flesh from eggplant and garlic head, add, salt, pepper, cumin, crushed pepper flakes, lemon juice, olive oil, minced red onion, fresh parsely and olive oil. mix well. you can also add tahini if you want, i feel that its lighter without it.

Take a container (16 ozs.) of nonfat plain yogurt and add one of those Good Seasons Zesty Italian salad dressing packets. Mix those together and you have a great tasting dip and no fat. This trick also works great with the Hidden Valley Ranch packets too.

1 cup of drained cottage cheese pureed in the blender (Or a cup of sour cream.)
1 teaspoon dry dill weed
1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) garlic powder
if you like salt-add salt to taste
mix and chill for a couple of hours before serving.
I sometimes thin this dip with a little milk and use as a salad dressing.

Answer 7

Salsa dip or use low fat stuff. Anyway a good dip unless you are eating it for a meal should be high in fat. to make it healthier eat with broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, carrots etc. 1 package of cream cheese, 16 oz sour cream, 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar, one onion cut finely, large can of chopped black olives, bacon bits, one clove of garlic finely chopped, 6 oz of stuffed chopped green olives, paprika or cayenne to taste mix together let sit in fridge covered about 3 or more hours longer is better serve with veggies, chips, pretzels unless you overdo it a dip as high in fat as this can be an addition to your diet options mix in blue cheese crumbles or red, green or yellow pepper chopped finely Yeah fine somebody rated my answer as bad SO WHAT!!!!! DIP IS NOT A BLANKING MEAL!!! IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SNACK!!! SO YOU EAT IN F ING MODERATION!!!! AND THEN YOU EAT A REGULAR HEALTHY MEAL!!!! WITH YOUR F ING VEGGIE BURGHERS!!!
