There is a story behind this lovely fruit dip; it’s my Mom’s (Ruthie’s) recipe that I changed around just little bit.

Instead of sour cream, I used Greek yogurt. The main story behind this recipe is actually the beautiful scalloped dish it is in.

Growing up, my wonderful mom loved entertaining, especially for her Bridge ladies.  

This dip was a staple for any gathering, winter, spring, summer, or fall.

She always let me help make it the night before her bridge luncheons since it needed to be made at least a few hours before to sit in the fridge.

I always loved the pretty green dish she served it in.

My mom once told me that one day when I was married I could have the dish. We both forgot about it until a few years ago when she was unpacking after she moved.

When I went to visit her she surprised me with the pretty green dish. I remember smiling so hard, my face hurt!

I am so happy to share this recipe with all of you and to show you a picture of this cute little green dish.

Thanks for letting me share my story.

Now go make some of this luscious dip!

 

Light Luscious Fruit Dip

Yields: about 24 (2-tbsp) servings

Here’s the few ingredients to make this delicious dip

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup super fine granulated sugar, regular granulated sugar works too, for sugar free, use a no calorie sweetener but only use 1/8 cup since it’s usually sweeter than regular sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 heaping cups Cool Whip, I used sugar free for this recipe, regular is fine too
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest for garnish

 

 

 

Here’s how to whip the luscious dip up

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the yogurt, sugar, orange juice and the orange and lemon zests.
  2. Gently fold or stir in the Cool Whip until completely combined.
  3. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3-4 hours.
  4. That’s it! Serve with your favorite cut up fruits. You can use fancy toothpicks for easy dipping.

 

Enjoy the lusciousness!
