We love a good dip and our Spicy Dill Pickle Dip is one of our favorite quick and easy dip recipes! This dip is usually one of the first things to disappear, so it’s a great party dip! We love yogurt-based dips because they’re slightly healthier than mayo or cream cheese-based dips.
We especially love this dip because we’re using Straus Family Creamery Organic Nonfat Plain European Style Yogurt as the base and it’s so good! The yogurt is rich, smooth and creamy with a delicious tart flavor. We feel good about using Straus yogurt in our recipe. It’s loaded with probiotics, minimally processed, and made without artificial flavors, which we love!
We’re also using Straus Family Creamery Organic Sour Cream which is also very thoughtfully made, with only three ingredients! There are no artificial ingredients, gums, stabilizers, or thickeners. It has an ultra-smooth and creamy texture with a really clean flavor that helps to elevate our dip!

Sounds and looks delicious.Could Asian Sambal Olek or Chili Garlic Paste be used here? I don`t have Calabrian.
Yes!
This delicious,the Sambal works well even though I did not use the full 2 1/2 tablespoons b/c of heat sensitive appetites. I say you can put in but you can`t take out.
