Filled with pimentos, cheddar cheese, protein-rich Greek yogurt and a hint of pepper jack, this Pimento Cheese dip is flavorful, smoky and finished with just a bit of heat.

Notes

RECIPE from Garnish with Lemon
Be sure you use unsweetened Greek yogurt here! Even “plain” Greek yogurts sometimes contain added sugars, so double check the label.
The extra sharp cheddar cheese and jack cheese are by far my preferred cheeses for pimento cheese dip. Cheddar comes in a variety of colors so don’t stress too much about choosing a white cheddar vs. orange or yellow. Just look for the words “extra sharp” on the label!
Shred your own cheese! Store bought shredded cheeses have a coating on them to keep the shreds from clumping, which makes it harder to get that dreamy creamy texture you want in a cheese dip. If you’ve never shredded your own cheese, it’s super easy: use a box grater or your food processor and it’s done in a pinch!
