With Super Bowl just around the corner, it’s high time to start getting down with those gamely inspired recipes! Gameday food is some of the BEST food. But, when you’re trying to stick to your New Year’s resolutions, it can be a challenge to find a balance between the two! Being as I’m a huge fan of a decent gameday spread, I know exactly what to do.
As part of my New Year’s resolutions, I’m choosing to eat a lot more veggies. Fresh veggies. That’s why I decided to make this DELICIOUS and nutritious triple layer dip. It’s three layers of yummy stuff that you and I both can feel good about serving and enjoying!
For the first layer, we’re starting out with one of my favorites. GUACAMOLE. Avocados are life. And this homemade guacamole is my life blood. I prefer a chunky guacamole that’s simple and to the point. I want to taste those avocados, damnit!
The next layer is more decadent. Or, at least that’s how it seems. With subbing in greek yogurt in place of the sour cream, we’re adding in protein and lowering the calories. With some cheese and a few herbs and spices, this layer is a real winner.
The final top layer is as fresh as they come. Chopped tomatoes along with more herbs and spices leaves us with a pico de gallo inspired chunky ‘salsa’ that adds a final BURST of citrus and brightness.
Don’t let that ingredient list fool you. Yes. It’s lengthy. But many of the items are listed two or three times - once for each layer. Plus, this dip is SO easy to make. A couple of bowls and a few minutes and you’ve got one amazing dip that will be GOBBLED up on any gameday spread.
