Hello and happy summer! IT’S HERE!!!!
It’s the season for dips. Well, I adore dips all year long, but summer just makes me think of grilling get-togethers. And plenty of snacks (mostly dips). And beer (IPA!). And white wine (Sauvignon Blanc!). And friends. And family. And swim suits (Demi’s is ridiculous). And floppy hats.
Seriously? These things make me so happy.
Today, I partnered with Mountain High Yoghurt to bring you a recipe that is easy, delicious and perfect for summer. It’s definitely a dip, but it would also be perfect on so many other things: grilled chicken and vegetables, any kind of tacos and definitely rice and bean bowls.
Yogurt is a staple in our house (I actually buy the large tub of Mountain High Yoghurt (always plain) from Costco!) and while I usually keep it pretty simple and eat it with my oats or in smoothies, yogurt is a great creamy addition to summer dips, dressings and spreads.
If you’re looking for even more ideas, check out the Mountain High pinterest page. In addition to lots of recipes, there are also great ideas on how to repurpose the containers, which I really love. Reuse, people!
So this dip. SO easy and so nutritious. Blend together the ingredients and it’s ready to eat!
Between the yoghurt and avocado, it’s ultra-creamy with some spice and flavor from cilantro and jalapeño. Utterly addicting with tortilla chips, pita crackers and fresh vegetables.
Dip away!

Fresh dips and snacks are so important. It’s easy to de-rail a healthy diet with unhealthy snacks. Especially in summer when our inhibitions are down. (I.P.A.!)

Wow this is a very delicious looking dip! Not to mention it’s healthy and natural! I don’t know if anyone has tried this with this dip, but has anyone had any luck adding lime to it?
