Healthy Jalapeno Popper Dip

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

There is nothing like a delicious skinny jalapeno popper dip, especially when it is healthy with yogurt and covered in cheddar cheese. 

If you know me, you know I LOVE a good greek yogurt dip. It is a great substitute for sour cream or mayo. Plus, if you do it right, you hardly even taste the yogurt. Some of my most popular dips are my greek yogurt buffalo chicken dip, zero point onion dip and fiesta corn dip.

Quick Tips from Allie Carte

  • Use pickled jalapeños or sauté fresh ones on the stove for a less spicy dip
  • Add cheese on top and broil it
  • Bacon bits are easy but, real bacon is delicious
  • Serve the dip inside a jalapeño! For a less spicy version, try it out in a bell pepper or mini sweet pepper. However, you can also use these instead of chips
  • Remove all the seeds if you do not want the jalapeños to be too spicy.
  • You can heat this up in the oven; however, I prefer serving it cold.

What You Need for Skinny Jalapeno Popper Dip

To make this healthy jalapeno popper dip, you don't need any fancy cooking gadgets. However, if you do not want to use fresh jalapeños, you can use pickled jalapeños or sauté some on the stove, to make them less spicy. At the end, you can also stuff the dip into jalapeños, add some shredded cheese on top and broil them in the oven.

  • Plain, nonfat greek yogurt
  • Sour cream
  • Jalapeños
  • Bacon bits
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Seasonings

Trust me, you really cannot tell that there is yogurt in this. I love making a dip with yogurt, especially this jalapeno one. It is a great substitute for sour cream or mayo. Plus, if you do it right, you hardly even taste the yogurt. I like adding just one tablespoon of sour cream (you can also substitute mayo) into this recipe because it really does cut the yogurt taste completely. However, if you do not want to use yogurt, you can substitute all mayo or sour cream.

I used one whole jalapeño in this recipe, diced it up and placed it right into the dip. However, if you do not want to use fresh jalapeños, you can use pickled jalapeños or sauté some on the stove, to make them less spicy. Remember, take the seeds out if you do not want overly spicy.

Yes, I am lazy and use bacon bits. However, you can certainly cook and dice up your own bacon.

In this jalapeno popper dip, I use fat-free shredded cheddar cheese. However, you can use any type of shredded cheese that you like. I serve it cold, without melting the cheese. However, you can pop this in the oven for 10-20 minutes, which will help melt the cheese.

How to Serve Jalapeno Popper Dip

This dip is great on its own with chips. However, I love placing it into a fresh jalapeño. It is amazing with some extra shredded cheese on top. Then, broil that in the oven to get the cheese crispy and melty.

However, you can also serve jalapeño slices on the side, for dipping. If you want something less spicy, serve this in some of those mini sweet peppers, in a bell pepper, or with bell pepper strips on the side.

I serve this cold; however, you can also heat this in the oven for 10-20 minutes to get the cheese a little melty.

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Dip

Finely dice the jalapeño pepper, you should have about a ¼ cup of pieces. You can also use a mini food processor.

Then, all you do is combine all the ingredients together, in a small bowl, and store in the fridge for at least an hour, to allow the flavors to form together.
