Skinny Poolside Dip

Skinny Poolside Dip

Skinny poolside dip is light, creamy, and refreshing — the kind of easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears fast on hot days. It’s packed with flavor but made with lighter ingredients, making it perfect for parties, picnics, or casual snacking by the pool.

Ingredients:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed)
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Add-Ins:
Chopped fresh parsley or chives
Crumbled turkey bacon
Diced jalapeño for heat

Instructions:
In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt and sour cream until smooth.

Add the shredded cheese, cucumber, red onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, dill, salt, and black pepper.

Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Serve chilled.

Helpful Tips:
Finely chop vegetables to keep the dip smooth and scoopable.
Letting the dip chill improves flavor and texture.
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier result if preferred.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with fresh vegetables like celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
Great with pita chips, crackers, or tortilla chips.
Works well as a sandwich or wrap spread.

Storage:
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir before serving.

Skinny poolside dip is cool, creamy, and flavorful — a lighter snack that still feels indulgent and keeps everyone coming back for more.
