Since it’s PopChips week, I couldn’t help but feature a dip recipe. Who doesn’t love chips and dip? No friend of mine, that’s for sure.
As I’ve gotten older, I find that I crave salty snacks much more than sweet ones. Don’t get me wrong, my sweet tooth is still alive and well, but when it comes down to it, I’d really just be happy with some chips and dip. Creamy, tangy, blue cheese dip, to be exact. My favorite.
Unfortunately blue cheese dip isn’t exactly the healthiest condiment of all time, so I’ve made a few modifications to help lighten it up. It’s so good that I promise even the most discriminating dip lover won’t know it’s lower in fat.
For buffalo wing-type flavor, pair with barbecue PopChips — delicious! And don’t forget, you could win a PopChips variety pack (a box of 12 snack-sized bags of various flavors) for your snacking pleasure by doing one (or more!) of the following:

Creamy Greek Blue Cheese Dip
What you need:
- 4 ounces whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt (I prefer Fage)
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- About 2 or 3 tablespoons chopped chives, plus more for garnish
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Salt and pepper and barbecue PopChips, for serving
- Assorted crudités (I love that word!), for serving
- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, blue cheese, chives and pepper with a hand mixer. Blend until whipped and well combined. Transfer dip to a serving bowl and top with additional chives and freshly cracked pepper.

That dip looks awesome! My kids LOVE PopChips…looks like a winning combo to me!
I have to confess that I’ve never heard of PopChips, but your recipe for the tangy dip sounds marvelous. I wonder how it would taste with feta rather than blue cheese, a substitution that would give it more of a Greek twist?
That sounds great. Maybe some chopped kalamata olives and dill, too?
How funny…I just love popchips and featured them on my site lsst week
at http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/popchips-my-favorite-reduced-fat-chips/.
Your dip sounds perfect to serve with them!
Nice! I like the sea salt and vinegar too, but I think my fav is salt and pepper. Or cheddar. Or… 🙂
I love a fresh homemade dip. This looks delicious. I have never heard of popchips, but would love to try them.
Blue cheese dip is my favorite! You really have me craving some right now but I can’t bear to go out in this dreadful rainy weather. I guess I will just have to dream. I also love blue cheese-stuffed olives with a nice martini…extra dirty please. 🙂
Just how I like my martinis, too. 🙂
Yum, this sounds delightful! With plain old Ruffles chips please!
Great recipe- Popchips are my jam!
Well, this is all right on my alley. The dip, the chips, and the contest all make me happy. I love dip! I think we could be friends 🙂
Oooh, I just did a Greek dip…and I’m now totally wishing I’d put in blue cheese…Yum!
I expect a bowl of this to be ready upon my arrival. That is all.

Hey Bobbi! I’d never heard of popchips until I read your blog post. So when I saw them at the grocery store for 2 bags/$5, I had to try them. The salt+vinegar flavor was decent, but the bbq ones were to die for! Enough to satisfy my chip addiction and then some. Thanks for letting me know about this awesome product 🙂
