Why You’ll Love Greek Yogurt Chipotle Dressing

It tastes very similar to the chip dip you have at holiday parties with your relatives. Instead of using sour cream & mayonnaise, you substitute it with a healthier, high protein option like Greek Yogurt.

This dressing has the consistency of a dip but is highly versatile. It is great for:

  • As a chip dip with tortillas, crackers, etc.
  • Tastes great as a dressing for a Mexican themed salad (can add water for a thinner dressing)
  • A topping for burgers, grilled meat, veggies, etc.

This dip is perfect for those times you are craving a little smoky, chipotle flavor in your life and want to still eat healthy. Greek Yogurt is a great probiotic and is loaded with protein, calcium, and many other beneficial nutrients and minerals!

Recipe Ingredients

These ingredients can be modified based on your preferences and level of spiciness you desire from this dip. Here is what you will need to make this Greek Yogurt chipotle dip.

  • Greek Yogurt: 3/4 cup is a good starting point for a single serving. You can increase or decrease depending on if it’s a chip dip for a party, salad dressing for one, etc.
  • Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon is all you need to get the “Tex-Mex” flavor you are looking for in this Mexican style dish.
  • Cumin powder: 1 teaspoon for that earthy Tex-Mex flavor that you know and love from most Mexican dishes.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: 1 teaspoon
  • Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Sea salt: 1/2 teaspoon + more as needed to taste
  • Crushed red pepper flakes: 1/4 teaspoon. Completely optional if you want a little more kick
