Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Halve tomatoes and squeeze out excess juice and seeds. Dice and salt lightly. Let sit in a colander for 10 minutes to drain.
  2. In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt with a hand mixer until smooth.
  3. Fold in drained tomatoes, garlic, herbs, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Transfer to serving bowl and top with Parmesan. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version. To serve warm, bake topped with cheese at 350°F for 15–20 minutes. Avoid overmixing the tomatoes to preserve dip texture.
