2 Healthy Home Made Vegetable Dip Recipes!

When you're trying to eat light it can be such a bummer how many calories & WW (Weight Watchers) SP creep in with everyday condiments - especially veggie dips and salad dressings! My EASY and delicious recipes for ZERO POINT Ranch Dip and Roasted Pepper Dips help you slash calories, fat, and SP and make snacking on veggies or topping salads way more fun and flavorful.
These dips are also amazing to top roasted veggies or to liven up your basic grilled chicken. I also love to use them as a low-cal, low-fat sandwich spread! They take minutes to make and taste SO much better than supermarket fat-free dressings. For Vegan or Dairy Free Ranch just swap in silken tofu or fat-free soy yogurt for the fat-free Greek Yogurt.
Get the recipes below and let me know your favorite way to use Ranch Dressing in the comments!
Ranch Dip
1 1/2 cups fat-free Greek yogurt (or silken tofu or fat-free soy yogurt)
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tb minced fresh dill
1 TB minced fresh parsley
1 Tb chopped scallion

-Simply stir all ingredients together and season to taste!
Spanish Spiced Roasted Pepper Dip
2 cups jarred roasted peppers in water, well-drained
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sherry vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
- Blend all ingredients together in a mini chop, blender, or using an immersion blender. Season to taste!

What's your favorite way to use Ranch Dip or Dressing? (I hear some people put it on their pizza!?) I like it with basic veggies or to top chopped salads.

[@margueritekinchen6558]

I absolutely LOVE putting ranch on my pizza. If your not sure, just put a touch on the tip of your pizza that way you don't ruin your whole pizza if it's not for you. My Aunt lives Thousand Island on hers.

Marguerite Kinchen hi! Good point! And maybe I should do a lightened up Thousand Island too (it’s kind of like “special sauce” which would be fun for sliders too!

Hi Barb!❤I'm so glad the videos and recipe ideas here are helpful to you! I've been the main WW recipe creator for the past decade and love sharing fun-healthy ideas here. Took a break from shooting the past year or so but will be sharing more videos soon! I also have a free mini cookbook on my website called "10 Fun Healthy Meals for One in Under 20 Minutes" you can grab if you like. SO many women in my online community find cooking for 1 to be challenging (and I'm an Empty Nester myself!) so I try to create lots of recipes and ideas to help. You can grab the cookbook here if you like! juliehartigan.com/free-meals-for-one/

[@kerynokeeffe9133]

Thank you, great video! Loved both recipes. I really appreciate that you provide alternatives to substitute because as an Aussie we don’t always have access to particular ingredients that are available in the US. Have just found your channel and I’m looking forward to watching more of your informative videos. 👏👏👏😀🇦🇺
