Quick and dirty post today.
I am constantly on the quest for new ways to use up yogurt and it’s so great for dipping stuff into. I like apple slices for my mid-afternoon snack and they go well with yogurt.
This is a quick and easy dip (really… 30 seconds at most) and after the success of the vanilla cinnamon dip I thought I’d post this one as well. Although, it’s almost embarrassing to post because it’s so fast and simple.
Sweet Chili Yogurt Dip
3 tbsp plain balkan yogurt (I use fat free)
1 1/2 tsp Thai sweet chili sauce (more or less to taste – I like a little zing)
Mix the two together and… umm… yeah… there you have it! Hehe. Told you it was fast and simple!
I sometimes add a dash of curry powder or cumin as well.
It’s great for dipping apples, veggies, or thin crackers in. And I haven’t tried it, but I have a feeling it would work really well with strawberries.
Photography
50mm, f3.2, 1/1250, +2/3 exposure compensation, ISO200. Post processing was a contrast tweak and overall sharpening. 30 seconds total.
This is a different type of photo than I usually take. The sun was streaming in for the first time in days and I couldn’t resist going for some really sharp contrast shots. I did take a few with filtered sunlight but, I think it’s fun to mix things up sometimes and try something different.
Oooo….I like this mix. I never really thought to do a spicy yogurt dip….I usually pair mine with a spicy food. Experimentation ahead…yes yes.
This sounds like such an interesting mix! I bet the spice goes really well with the yogurt, I’ll have ot give this a try!
Oh my goodness, that dip is definitely going to be a hit at this house! Great recipe!
I’ve been frantically looking around for a quick and easy appetizer for a party I’m having tonight, and this sounds delicious -and- easy. I may have to give it a try!
Also, I -love- the photograph. The colors and shadows are beautiful. Well done.
