Veggied-Up Veggie Dip...

Who is going to bring the “healthy dip” to the picnics this summer?  Me of course!
Here is a new dip, that's right, it's a dip that's full OF veggies and tastes good ON veggies! 

Ingredients:
1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (like the kind by Fage or Chobani)
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise  (I used more of the yogurt instead)
Half a 1-oz. packet (about 3 tbsp.) dry veggie soup mix
One 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup roasted red peppers packed in water, drained and chopped (I roasted my own and peeled the skin off)
1 tbsp. dried minced onions
Cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, a little lemon juice

Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, and soup mix. Stir well.  Add remaining ingredients and mix until uniform.   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, to allow soup mix to rehydrate and flavors to develop.  TOO EASY!
I served with zucchini and baby carrots
