How do you do New Years Eve? I have a great fresh and filling dip for you to bring to a party or to your next football party. I always avoided going out to bars on NYE. It seems like it has to be such a plan. It is overpriced and crowded.

I’m too old for that. Last year we moved and watched the ball drop from our new house. Most years Mr. J and I had been able to walk over to our friends’ annual party. This year it is a bit further but I’m excited.

Ingredients:

12 oz plain Greek yogurt (or half Greek yogurt/half sour cream)
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
1 cucumber, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
6 oz gouda, chopped
2 eggs, hardboiled, chopped
4 green onions, chopped
4 strips of bacon, chopped
1 box of wheat thins

Directions:

Mix yogurt and ranch dressing mix until combined. Let chill for a few hours (or overnight) before serving.
Chop veggies into small bite size pieces.

Spread ranch onto a platter or plate.

Top with chopped veggies, eggs, cheese, and bacon (I was out of bacon and used pepperoni).

Serve with crackers for dipping.

I like this one because it is fresh and crisp and has all my favorites in one place. The Greek yogurt adds such a good  tang while being packed with protein and calcium. This dip is the perfect party way to eat some veggies.

Cobb Salad Dip is convenient to chop the veggies and whip up the ranch dip then assemble on site. It is one of the easiest ones to prep in advance and pack it to go.
