What do you need for this goat cheese dip?

• Jarred Roasted Red Pepper: We like to use this because it is much easier than roasting red peppers yourself!
• Low-fat Greek yogurt: Fat-free Greek yogurt keeps things nutritious without piling on the calories. Plus, it’s packed with protein!
• Goat cheese: Goat cheese has a tangy flavor profile and adds a bit of richness to the dip.
• Fresh thyme: Fresh thyme adds an earthy element to this creamy dip.
• Lemon juice: Lemon juice adds a little acidity to cut through the creaminess of the dip.
• Food processor: Using a food processor makes this recipe easy! All you have to do is throw in all your ingredients and BLENDER! If you don’t have access to a food processor, try a high-speed blender.

Variations and substitutions

• Switch Greek: If you want to make it a bit creamier, replace the Greek yogurt with sour cream or cream cheese. You don’t get as much protein, but you still get plenty of flavor and creaminess.
• Choose another herb: If thyme isn’t your thing, play with other fresh herbs like rosemary or oregano. These herbs give an earthy touch to the dip.
• Swap the lemon juice: Replace the lemon juice with red wine vinegar for more flavor.
• Use a different cheese: Not a fan of goat cheese? Replace it with feta cheese. We recommend regular fat feta, because low-fat feta can be too crumbly for this dip.
• Add some heat: Want to add a bit of a kick? Swap the regular roasted red peppers for fire-roasted red peppers!

Tips

• Make a double batch so you can eat it all week long!
• If you don’t have a food processor, a Blender works great too! Make sure to scrape the sides of the blender so everything blends nicely!

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container or bowl covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Quick Tip – Another great idea is to spread it on a sandwich for an extra layer of flavor!
