    3-Ingredient Pesto Yogurt Dip

    I almost feel guilty about posting this embarrassingly easy 3-Ingredient Pesto Yogurt Dip. Almost. Yes, it's a recipe that requires only three ingredients. But we all need a simple appetizer idea once in awhile, right? With the Super Bowl right around the corner and the promise of more potluck get-togethers throughout the year, this healthy dip recipe can easily play the starring role on a beautiful veggie platter, complete with pita chips and whole grain crackers.

    Fantastic for dipping raw veggies or pita chips, this 3-Ingredient Pesto Yogurt Dip come together in less than 5 minutes. 55 calories and 1 Weight Watchers Freestyle SP

    We regularly keep a container of basil pesto in our fridge, and use it to spread on sandwiches or naan pizzas, toss with whole pasta and veggies, or mix with chicken in a stuffed spaghetti squash recipe. In this easy yogurt dip, use your favorite pesto, whether that's store-bought or homemade version.

    Basil pesto stirred into Greek yogurt.

    How to make this Basil Pesto Yogurt Dip:

    • Either store-bought or homemade basil pesto can be used.
    • To switch up the flavors, try a different type of pesto, such as artichoke, roasted red pepper or cilantro.
    • Simply stir the pesto into the yogurt and season with a pinch of salt. It's that easy.
    • Serve this with a variety of raw vegetables, baked sweet potato fries or baked zucchini fries, pita chips or tortilla chips.

        Wow, looks so good! Does this taste good with greek souvlaki meat too? Or is it best for just veggies and crackers?
