Ingredients

As I promised, you only need three ingredients to pull together this creamy, flavorful dip.

Expert Tips and Tricks

If you want to use this combination as a dressing instead of as a dip, switch the amounts of greek yogurt and salsa the recipe calls for. What I mean is, instead of combining 1/2 cup of yogurt with 4 tablespoons of salsa to make a thick dip, mix together 1/2 cup of salsa with 4 tablespoons of greek yogurt.

I enjoyed dipping chips and pretzels in this salsa yogurt dip. It was able to satisfy me more than if there were no dip or if I was just dipping in salsa!

A Word From A Registered Dietitian

Adding greek yogurt to a dish or recipe can easily pump up the protein. More protein can help you stay full and ensure your muscles have what they need!

In addition to the bonus protein, greek yogurt can also make a dish creamy. This can be a fun way to change up some of your classic go-to dishes.
