Friends, for spring and summer, enjoy this fresh sweet and salty Salted Caramel Yogurt Dip with mixed berries, with your favorite cracker. You can also serve this with a warm sliced baguette.
Salted Caramel Yogurt Dip with Mixed Berries
My inspiration for this recipe today came from what I already had stocked in my fridge (yogurt), and what we had in our pantry (caramel sauce). Layering these ingredients with a cup of warm caramel sauce drizzled on top, and topped with a finishing salt, was exactly what I was looking to serve for a light appetizer.
I love a good sweet and salty treat any time of the day. There is something about that sweet mixed with the salty that is just so good. This is a fun breakfast side dish to serve, too, if you’re hosting a brunch. Also, if you love salted caramel, you may want to try my favorite Salted Caramel Danish Puff recipe. This recipe makes 2 Danish puffs, and is also great for breakfast or dessert.

Variations
I made this super simple salted caramel yogurt dip to serve with fresh fruit, but it’s also delicious with sliced apples. Particularly Granny Smith (tart) apples. Yum!
Change out the crackers for a sweet cracker or other salty crackers like bagel chips or pita chips (nice and salty).
Adding some caramel and sea salt to greek yogurt makes a nice skinny treat to snack on throughout the day. This dip is perfect for dipping pretzels, salty crackers like Triscuit, or fruit in.
