Ingredients

• 2 large stalks leeks
• 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim and clean the leeks thoroughly to remove dirt and grit. Thinly slice the white and light green parts of the leeks.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 8–10 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the sautéed leeks and garlic, Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Before serving, optionally sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top for a pop of color.

Step 8

Serve with an assortment of fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumber slices, celery, or bell pepper strips.
