Cajun Dip & Dressing
This Cajun Dip & Dressing is a quick and healthy alternative to traditional spicy mayo. By using non-fat Greek yogurt as the base, you cut down on calories and fat while still enjoying the rich, bold flavors of Cajun seasoning.
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Airtight container for storage
- 1 Spoon or whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning homemade or no-salt added store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Measure the non-fat Greek yogurt, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir well until fully blended and smooth. For a thicker consistency, you can drain the Greek yogurt using a cheesecloth or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Serve: Use the dip immediately or refrigerate it for later. It’s great paired with crispy sweet potato fries or as a dressing on sandwiches.
- Store: Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Notes
Adjust the Heat Level: If you prefer a milder dip, reduce the Cajun seasoning or swap out the cayenne for a mild chili powder. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or more cayenne.
Make it Even Healthier: Swap out part of the Greek yogurt for light mayo for a slightly richer texture with fewer calories than traditional mayo.
Flavor Development: The flavors deepen as the dip sits in the fridge, so feel free to prepare it in advance for even tastier results.
