Creamy Eggplant Dip

Dips are such an easy way to spice up any snack or meal. I love experimenting with different flavors of spreads to keep things interesting throughout the week. But this easy eggplant dip has been my latest go to during busier weeks. It’s velvet-y, rich, and full of robust flavor from the baked eggplant. And the yogurt gives it such a nice creaminess. I’ve been enjoying with pita and vegetables as well as on vegetable packed sandwich!

This eggplant dip recipe was originally shared with us by Olympic. However, they no longer make dairy-free yogurt. So feel free to use your favorite unsweetened dairy-free yogurt. I like Forager’s Dairy-Free Cashewgurt Yogurt and So Delicious Dairy-Free Coconutmilk Yogurt for recipes like this one.
