Spicy Cajun Dip

Just because it’s Fat Tuesday, doesn’t mean it’s Eat Your Weight In Fried Catfish Day.  I don’t usually celebrate Mardi Gras but I am sure some people do with parties or bar drinking.  I found this dip recipe that sounded like a good party item as well as delicious and low fat / low point snack. The carb contents look low to me as well.  It’s a spicy dip that can be served with veggie sticks and by the sound of it, would be awesome smeared on some pita bread or even on a turkey sandwich.  I haven’t tried it but it sounds delicious and I am going to give it a shot this weekend.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, without oil, dry-packed
8 oz light cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/4 cup chili sauce
4 Tbsp bell pepper(s), chopped
4 Tbsp scallion(s), chopped
1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions:
Place tomatoes in a small bowl. Cover with 1 cup of boiling water and allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; drain and chop tomatoes.

Meanwhile, in another small bowl combine cream cheese, yogurt and chili sauce; mix well. Add tomatoes and remaining ingredients; mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve. Yields about 2 tablespoons of dip per serving.
