This garlic Greek yogurt dip with roasted little tomatoes and fresh herbs makes a wonderful appetizer or snack! It’s healthy, filling, and delicious.
This dip is basically a fancy tzatziki. Of course, there’s plenty of garlic in here. I love savory yogurt so much more than sweet varieties! It’s good for you, has calcium and protein, and tastes great. You can dip pita, crackers, vegetables… whatever your heart desires.
The roasted tomatoes are super simple. I just threw a pack of colorful little tomatoes into a glass baking dish and sprinkled them with some olive oil, garlic powder, and a bit of salt & pepper. Half an hour later they were roasted to perfection.
The sweetness of the roasted tomatoes works very well with the tartness of the Greek yogurt.
When I buy Greek yogurt, I usually get 2%. I’m not into low fat anything for various reasons, and 2% is a nice compromise.
I sometimes buy full-fat because it tastes the best (in my opinion anyway), but I reserve that for special occasions.
This Greek yogurt dip is soo tasty… I actually ended up having it for dinner with pita two nights in a row.
