80--- Grilled Shishito Peppers with Sriracha Greek Yogurt Dip



It's getting close to barbecue season!  Are you the person who always defaults to bringing a veggie tray? Not a bad move, but this is your year to switch it up with this EASY and CROWD-WOWING appetizer.



Grilled Shishito Peppers
Serves 4

8 oz shishito peppers, rinsed and dried
1 tsp olive oil (I always use a good quality oil like Pomora- for extra spice use their pepper oil)
Dash of sea salt

Preheat your grill to high heat.  Place peppers in a grill pan and toss with olive oil and salt.  Grill over high heat for ~4-5 minutes, then toss pan to flip peppers, grilling for an additional 4 minutes or until a small bit of char is present on each side of the pepper.  

Remove from heat and serve!



Sriracha Greek Yogurt Dip
Makes ~1/2 cup

1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp mayo
1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce
1 1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp dried cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour prior to serving.  Serve as a dip to the peppers.
