This recipe is my entry for the Food & Nutrition Magazine Test Kitchen Recipe Contest. The contest guidelines were to use a No Added Sugar Siggi’s Skyr yogurt to create a recipe using “simple ingredients, not a lot of sugar”, which is the Siggi’s philosophy. I think my recipe meets this philosophy perfectly, as I used no added sugar and simple ingredients to create what some might call a “phytonutrient paradise”. The Green Goddess Dip was made with Siggi’s Plain Icelandic Skyr, which made for a perfect creamy pairing with my roasted vegetables. The green color really stands out among the purple, yellow, and orange vegetables making for an absolutely stunning platter. I would recommend using this recipe as a side dish or appetizer for friends and family to delight them with beautiful pops of both color, and flavor.
