Ingredients

Fruit Dip

  • 8 ounces cool whip
  • 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (can use nonfat if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the cool whip and Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined. Add the orange zest, fresh orange juice, and sugar (if using), then mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  2. Serve: Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and offer alongside a variety of fresh fruit for dipping. This makes a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional sweet dips.
  3. Store: Place any leftover dip in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to 4 days, allowing you to enjoy it multiple times with your favorite fruits.

Notes

  • For a lower sugar option, omit the sugar or substitute with a sugar alternative like stevia.
  • Use nonfat Greek yogurt to reduce fat content while maintaining creaminess.
  • This dip pairs well with a variety of fruits such as strawberries, apple slices, grapes, and pineapple.
  • Ensure the dip is kept refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
