This is what I would call a good vs. evil recipe. There is a good, healthy way to make vegetable dill dip and there is a yummy, not so healthy way to make this dip. I make both versions and I like both versions. When company comes, it's the full fat, extra creamy and delicious version that I serve. When I make a snack of veggies with dip for myself, I opt for the lighter version of this recipe. Both are delicious and you can decide which one you will make to serve to your family.
Vegetable Dip
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
There is only one direction for this recipe - Stir.
And now for the reduced fat version of the same dill dip.
Low Fat Vegetable Dip
1 container plain fat free yogurt
2/3 cup fat free mayonnaise
½ teaspoon dill weed
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion salt
Which dip do you prefer? Try them both before you decide. You might just like the lighter version better than the full fat version.
For a new way to serve veggies and dip to your family, try dropping a scoop of dill dip into the bottom of a plastic cup and stand vegetable wedges on top. A pretty and colorful (and delicious) way to entice your family into eating their vegetables.
Just in case you were wondering - I did not make all of these vegetables cups to serve to my family at dinner. (I am on a mission to get them to eat more vegetables but this is a little extreme.) I delivered this beautiful tray of vegetable cups with dip to a baby shower.
Ciao!
What size cups did you use
ReplyDeleteI prefer little cups but I think the ones in the picture are 6 ounces cups. Any size will work as long as you cut the vegetables so they are just taller than the cup.
