I've always been a believer that you don't have to sacrifice flavor and taste when you are trying to shed some pounds.
Let's face it, the higher the fat content in a food usually means it's going to taste better. But this recipe breaks that rule. Not only does it taste great without the fat, but it tastes like it's not skimping on the calories. But don't take my word for it - try it yourself!
What you'll need:
- 2 8-ounce packages of fat free cream cheese (softened)
- 1 8-ounce package of regular or low fat Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 2 Tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
This recipe is so easy that all you need to do is blend the cream cheese, feta cheese, garlic, and the chopped dill thoroughly with an electric mixer. Put your cheese dip in a pretty bowl, cover and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or even overnight before serving. Before serving, take out of the refrigerator and garnish with some leftover dill. That's it! How easy is that?
Serve this delicious simple appetizer with veggies or low fat crackers next time you need something to serve in a hurry. No one has to know it's low in calories! They'll never guess by the taste.
This recipe for Feta cheese dip makes 3 cups or 24 servings.
