Reviews
Made this for a dinner party and since I went all out on the main course and sides made this to compensate for a low fat appertizer except used regular goat cheese as I could not get low fat. Was great and I added in a bit more yoghurt to make it a bit more “dippable.” I love Ellie’s recipes they are always so flavorful and it is food the way we like it. Made my own whole wheat pita chips to serve with it and everyone loved it.
I normally really enjoy most kinds of tart cheeses and I love the fresh herbs that are in this dip. However, the combination of the two just didn’t do it for me. I did have to use regular goat cheese (my grocery store did not have low-fat) so perhaps this had something to do with it. I felt like the cheese was too overpowering for the herbs in terms of tart-ness. Also, the cheese hardened up in the fridge so it wasn’t quite a dip texture. I think if I ever try to make this again, I would add some fat-free sour cream to thin it out and soften the goat cheese taste. Overall, I won’t say I didn’t like the dip, I just think that it wasn’t something I could sit and snack on.
Love this dip! Easy, tastes great, better for you. I’ve also used it with grilled chicken in pita, like a kicked up tsatziki.
so tasty my friends couldnt eat enough…its a staple at all my parties and we dont feel guilty
I really liked this dip. I used dried thyme and mint in combination with fresh parsley, but it still turned out great! I especially loved it on raw carrot strips.
