Notes
Greek yogurt: You can use nonfat, 2% or 5% plain Greek yogurt; whatever you have on hand.
Pesto: The pesto dip calls for pesto. I love using homemade basil pesto but you could substitute a store-bought variety as well.
Berries: Use strawberries or a mixed berry combination for the fruit in the fruity yogurt dip. Or feel free to substitute mangoes or another favorite fruit to change up the flavor of the dip.
Sweetness: You could substitute a vanilla Greek yogurt or add a touch of honey to the fruity yogurt dip if you want to sweeten it up a bit.
Additions: You can also add extra pesto or fruit puree to your dips if you want to amp up those flavors even more.
Spicy: Also, beware that the chili dip is spicy! You can omit the adobo chili and just use some of the sauce if you want to tame the heat.
Leftovers: Leftovers of each of these dips may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use them again as a dip or appetizer. Or use the pesto dip and creamy chili dip to baste onto grilled chicken or meats. They’d be great with roasted shrimp too. Or use them as a spread for sandwiches or wraps or to dollop onto grain bowls.
