The start of summer is so close I can almost taste it! There’s no better time than a holiday weekend to post an appetizer recipe that can be shared with friends.

I originally made a version of this dip two years ago and brought it back out of the archives last weekend for a dinner gathering at our house. I think this new “skinny” version is even better.

This dip is made healthier using 2% Greek yogurt and light sour cream. Adding a caramelized yellow onion and dried dill is the best flavor combination. Fresh dill will also work, but I think using dried dill creates a more intense flavor. I paired this dip with crunchy snap peas and pita chips.
