Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% fat recommended)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 a lemon, zest only
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, and lemon zest to a bowl.
- Whip Together: Gently mix all ingredients with a fork or whisk until well combined and smooth, adjusting the flavor to taste as desired.
- Serve: Pour the dip into a small serving bowl and accompany it with a selection of freshly chopped or sliced fruits.
Notes
- What Fruits to Serve with Dip: In summer, pair with sliced nectarines, peaches, whole strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple chunks, banana slices, and halved apricots. In fall and winter, enjoy with sliced apples, pears, mandarins or sumo orange slices, and fresh grapes.
- Serving Tips: Use toothpicks or small forks especially for smaller fruits like berries and grapes. Arrange the dip surrounded by at least three different colorful fresh fruits for visual appeal.
- Preparation Notes: Wash and prep fruits in advance, but slice fruits prone to browning (bananas, apples, pears) just before serving. A squeeze of lemon juice and storing covered in the fridge can help slow browning.
- Dairy-Free/Vegan Version: Replace the plain Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt alternative to make this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
