Cucumber and Creamy Vegetable Bites (Blogmas Day 5)

blogmas button 2014

The recipe I’m sharing today is simple and healthy! Even though I’m a sucker for cheese dips and chips and such, when it comes to a big holiday meal I feel like it’s always better to keep appetizers light and refreshing. You don’t want everyone in a food coma before they even have dinner! These little bites are the perfect thing to greet company with.

  3. Pulse the carrots, green onion, salt, pepper, and greek yogurt together until the vegetables are very small and everything is incorporated.
