Nutritional values

The freshness of yogurt and the spiciness of the Arabic spices combine to provide a ton of flavor, but a low serving of fat. Low-fat cream cheese brings additional protein into play and the lime juice provides vitamin C.

Keep this dip refrigerated until serving, and stir just before eating.
