Ingredients
Units
Scale
Base
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole or low fat)
Herbs & Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Other
- 1–2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or water (as needed, to thin)
Instructions
- Prepare the Herbs and Garlic: Finely chop the chives, parsley, and dill, and mince the garlic. This ensures the herbs distribute evenly and the garlic blends smoothly without raw chunks.
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Use a spoon or small whisk to smooth it out, creating a creamy foundation for your dip.
- Add the Herbs and Spices: Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, dill, and minced garlic. Sprinkle in the onion powder, dried dill (if using), garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until the herbs and seasonings are well incorporated.
- Adjust Texture & Flavor: Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and add more to taste if you like it tangier. For a thinner dip, whisk in milk or water a tablespoon at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
- Chill & Serve: For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve chilled with fresh cut vegetables, chips, or use as a salad dressing.
Notes
- Fresh herbs provide the brightest flavor, but dried can be substituted in a pinch—use half the amount if substituting dried for fresh.
- This dip will thicken slightly as it chills, so adjust the consistency before serving if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Great as a healthy sandwich spread or salad dressing as well as a dip.
