Chive and Bacon Dip

I told you there were going to be a lot of chive recipes this week. I wasn’t kidding!

Chive and Bacon Dip

That Chive Cream Cheese the other day was so good, that it got me thinking about how to make it into a dip.

Chive and Bacon Dip

Bacon was a natural choice. Salty, crunchy, bacony.

Because of my mayonnaise aversion- Greek yogurt was the base. It has the correct creamy consistency, and just the right amount of tanginess.

I couldn’t tell you how many years it has been since I have had potato chips and dip- but I will tell you: I have been missing out. This combo was sooooo good. I served this appetizer up to my family on Sunday afternoon, and it was scraped clean in about 5 minutes flat, so I guess they agreed with me.

In a bowl, using a fork, mix together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until fluffy and very well combined. Add the chives, bacon and lemon juice and then season with salt and pepper.
