Last year I had a holiday party and at the last minute I realized that all those people I invited? They were actually coming. And that feeding 80 people was going to be a bit of a stretch. Some one had brought a bunch of freshly sliced vegetables, and I reached into the fridge to see what I could find to go with them.
What I found was sour cream, yogurt and pomegranate seeds. I doctored them with a touch of lemon juice and a sprinkling of allspice, and voila, a dip was born. It was so good, bright and crunchy and creamy, I've made it several times since. It goes well with celery sticks, but I like it on its own for breakfast, or spread over enchiladas.
Pomegranate Yogurt Dip1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 1/2 cups Greek-style yogurt
1 large pomegranate, just the seeds
zest of half a lemon
1/8 teaspoon salt
sprinkling of allspice
1. Combine the yogurt, sour cream, lemon and allspice. Stir well, then gently fold in the pomegranate seeds. Serve as desired.

What a coincidence I made the indian variation, raita, yesterday! It's really refreshing with the pomegranate seeds.
Brilliant idea! I really like this dip. Maybe I could add a tsp or two of tahini to it!
I can tell that my boyfriend would love this. He loves pomegranate seeds and sour cream...this will be a win. Thanks for sharing!
what a lovely dish. you now have me craving pomegranates.
Just biting into this would be a mouthful of flavor. Those little seeds are divine. I've used them in lots of salads, never thought of a dip. Thanks!
Fantastic. I'm also thinking of it with skyr, that cheesy yogurt from Iceland. Thicker for sure, but it might hold up well as a dip.
Love this recipe! I have all the ingredients to make this dip except pomegranates. I'm thinking of using 2 tablespoons of permanganate syrup and adding walnuts to give it some crunch!
My pomegranate tree is now at its peak. I don't know why it was like kind of late for the tree to bloom. I like the dip!
Sounds amazing planning on making this recipe this weekend. love yogurt and pomegranate cann't wait to taste them together.
Would love for you to come and follow me on my blog bazaarhona.blogspot.com
This is so beautiful in its simplicity. This sounds like a good dip for crunchy spiced pita bread chips!
