Time to update your same old guacamole recipe by adding creamy protein-packed yogurt to make a healthy new and tasty dip that's perfect for Easter or any of your spring gatherings.
Avocado Jalapeno Yogurt Dip
When I was growing up it wasn't a party unless there was some sort of dip. I still believe this today and love making fresh homemade ones because the are simple to throw together. This Avocado Jalapeno Yogurt Dip can be made in 10 minutes! How's that for quick and easy?
I love a good guacamole, but decided to go for something creamy. Yogurt is a healthy way to add extra protein, and creaminess to dips. Plus it's less fattening than sour cream and mayo. For an extra kick, I've added minced jalapeno along with some fresh dill to brighten the flavor. Serve this healthy dip with crunchy vegetables, pita chips or pretzels, or use as a sandwich spread. The taste is amazing!
Enjoy!
