Over 30 bloggers are collaborating in the #EatHealthy16 recipe party. My friend Brianne from Cupcakes and Kale Chips invited me, and I’m so grateful that she did! We’re each sharing a healthy recipe to help you start 2016 on the right track.

Brianne is hosting healthy snack recipes, Jamie of Love Bakes Good Cakes is handling healthy meals, and Jenny of The Melrose Family is covering healthy dessert recipes, so make sure you follow the #EatHealthy16 hashtag throughout the month of January for tons of recipe inspiration.

About the cucumber yogurt dip recipe:

This dip comes together with just a few simple ingredients and a couple minutes of hand mixing (or seconds in a Blendtec blender).

When it comes to healthy snacks, I typically go for bite sized appetizers like low carb steak fajita sliders or something cheesy, like a bacon chipotle cheddar cheese ball. But lately, I’ve had a big craving for dips.

My low fat chocolate chip peanut butter dip is one of the most popular recipes on this site. But rather than making another sweet dip, I’m going savory this time. With Greek yogurt and cream cheese in my fridge, this dip was destined to be.
