Allergy-free?? Are you kidding me? The dip is either dairy or soy and we eat neither as they’re both allergens in this family.

Two choices: a) use a different dip – the skewers are still excellent. b) look for a DF and soy-free yogurt. There are a couple. e.g. Nu Lait (if you can do almonds in your family) – http://www.nulait.com/
