How to Make Skinny Poolside Dip
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Finely dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Uniform cuts help the dip maintain a smooth and balanced texture.
Step 2: Chop the Herbs
Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley. These herbs add brightness and lift the overall flavor profile.
Step 3: Create the Creamy Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the base is smooth and well blended.
Step 4: Add the Cream Cheese
Gently fold the reduced-fat cream cheese into the yogurt mixture. This creates a velvety, slightly sweet foundation for the dip.
Step 5: Incorporate the Corn
Add the cooked corn kernels and stir to distribute them evenly. The corn provides natural sweetness and a pleasant crunch.
Step 6: Combine Vegetables and Herbs
Fold in the diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, dill, and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined and coated.
Step 7: Chill the Dip
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to blend and the dip to thicken.
Step 8: Serve
Transfer the chilled dip to a serving bowl. Enjoy it with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or your preferred dippers.
Chef’s Tips
For extra freshness, remove excess moisture from the cucumber before adding it.
If you prefer a slightly thicker dip, chill it for an additional 30 minutes.
You may use fresh, canned, or frozen corn as long as it is fully cooked and drained.
This Skinny Poolside Dip is a flavorful, refreshing, and versatile option that fits beautifully into any gathering or casual snack spread.
