For a lighter version, you can swap out the cream cheese for Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. This will reduce the fat content while still keeping the dip creamy and delicious.
For those who are dairy-free, using plant-based cream cheese and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan can give you a similar taste and texture. Additionally, feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick. Your creativity knows no bounds!
