Spicy Yogurt Dip

This week is going to be a simple one easy recipe post kind of week. My husband, Jason, and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary on Thursday so we’re skipping out of town to celebrate.  We were married in the Van Dusen mansion in downtown Minneapolis on a rather warm day for January so as a fun reminder of our mansion wedding, we are staying at a mansion turned bed and breakfast in a nearby town.  I am SUPER excited to leave the kids behind and get out for some wining, dining and relaxing together.  Grinning from ear to ear at the notion of getting out with my main man!

Football season is quickly coming to a close this weekend so I’ll leave you with one great appetizer for your Super Bowl party spread.  This spicy yogurt dip is packed with flavor and spice to go perfectly with any dippers you choose to serve it with.  Veggies, pretzels and even chicken skewers go wonderfully well with spicy yogurt dip. Using a homemade salsa or one that’s not super chunky will work best to give it the right dippable consistency. I’ve used this dip as a marinade for chicken breasts as well and they turned out deliciously moist and tender with exceptional flavor.  Best of all, spicy yogurt dip comes together in about 5 minutes for a super easy appetizer!
