Creamy dips are great to snack on, whether you’re visiting with friends or watching a big game. And if you’re keeping track of calories, this Creamy Salsa Yogurt Dip is a good one to try. This yummy dip is a little more on the healthy side compared to other dips. It’s made with yogurt, salsa, a little bit of light mayo, and some seasoning. Shredded cheese is optional, but I really like it with the cheese, even though it’s not quite as healthy that way! The dip shown here is made with Pepper Jack cheese, which gives it a little extra spice.
You can serve this dip with raw veggies or chips—it tastes great with both! If you need some ideas on what kind of raw veggies to use, here are a few: broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, slices of bell pepper, sugar snap peas, celery, cucumber slices…pretty much any of your favorite veggies!
Creamy Salsa Yogurt Dip
CREAMY SALSA YOGURT DIP by NancyC, adapted from Food.com
Makes about 2 cups of dip
- 1 cup plain yogurt (use a thicker yogurt–like Greek yogurt or Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Yogurt)
- 2/3 cup chunky-style Salsa (use your favorite brand)
- 2 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Ranch Dip Mix
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Optional: 1 cup shredded Cheddar or Pepper Jack cheese
Combine yogurt, salsa, mayonnaise, Ranch seasoning, and chili powder in a medium size bowl, stirring until smooth. Add in cheese, if using, and blend well. Cover and chill for at least one hour or as long as one day before serving. Serve with assorted veggies (carrots, cucumber slices, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli) or tortilla chips.

Sounds delicious, I always make my dips with low calorie/fat sour cream, mayonnaise, and dressings. No one is ever the wiser.
