Phew! The mercury has really been rising lately...and that doesn't quite motivate me to stand in front of a hot stove! Paris experienced one of its hottest days of the year this week, and i was in no mood to spend even one minute more than necesary in the kitchen. So the end result was a cold, quick and healthy dinner...a delicious, low-fat, greek yogurt dip with veggies and bread!
I love greek yogurt. It's low-fat, low-carb, and protein-rich.....yet the texture is to-die-for! Thick and creamy, it almost doesn't feel like yogurt...more like a dessert! So its consistency makes it just perfect for a dip!
