Ingredients
1/2 cup 2% reduced fat greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. clam juice
2 Tbsp. reduced sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 (8-ounce) package fat free cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
1/2 tsp. black pepper, ground
1/2 tsp. salt
3 (6.5-ounce) cans chopped clams, drained
(We used Bumble Bee Chopped Clams.)
2 fennel bulbs (11 ounces each when whole), trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch thick wedges
3 bell peppers, seeds removed, each cut in half and each half cut into 8 strips
OPTIONAL
1 tsp. (or to taste) of tabasco sauce
This is a variation of a clam dip recipe that's been around for years. We substituted the Greek yogurt for typical mayonnaise and gave it a kick with a little tabasco.
1. Pour the first 5 ingredients, yogurt, clam juice, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and cream cheese into a medium bowl. Beat them together with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.
2. Stir in the chives, pepper, salt and clams. Add tabasco to taste if you'd like a little kick. If you're not sure how to cut the fennel bulbs, we've included a video below.
3. Serve on a platter with the fennel and bell peppers.
