We all love dips, but they're usually not the healthiest snack option. Most of them are laden with mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese, sodium and other less-than-wholesome ingredients. There is a way to still enjoy our beloved dips; they just need to be lightened up without skimping on flavor. Here are three healthy and tasty dip recipes to satisfy your cravings.
Herb Artichoke White Bean Dip
This dip is a pretty, protein-packed snack that can be whipped up in just a few minutes. The next time you're craving something creamy, make this Herb Artichoke White Bean Dip from The Kitchen Girl.
Mediterranean Feta Dip
This Mediterranean Feta Dip from Peas and Crayons is colorful, versatile and refreshing. Serve it with pita chips or cucumber slices, scoop it on top of hummus or grilled chicken or just eat it by the spoonful!
Cowboy Caviar
If you've never tried Cowboy Caviar, you're in for a treat. This chunky salsa is the perfect summer dip that's loaded with tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, onion, cilantro, red bell pepper and a light dressing—and it's nearly impossible to stop eating! Natasha's Kitchen uses light Italian dressing, but variations include balsamic vinegar with honey and olive oil, olive oil and lime juice or just balsamic vinegar.
