Summer entertaining is something many look forward to each year, but it can also mean over indulging on cheeses, chips, and dips (shout out to the classic Kiwi Onion Dip!). These are some of life’s great pleasures, but are to be enjoyed in moderation.
This Layered Greek Dip is a great alternative for when you want to whip up something delicious, but you also want it to be on the healthier side. It’s all the best parts of a Greek salad, cleverly put together to impress. Enjoy!
