Ingredients
Greek yogurt. Making dill dip using Greek yogurt is the key to a creamy, high protein base. I typically use plain 2% Greek yogurt, as the fat helps absorb the fat soluble vitamins (ie. vitamins A, D, E and K) from the vegetables you are eating it with.
Mayonnaise. I personally love mixing yogurt with a touch of mayonnaise. This creates a nice light creamy flavour without it being too tangy from the yogurt.
Fresh dill. You can’t have a Greek yogurt dill dip without dill! I recommend fresh for the best flavour, although 3 teaspoon of dried dill will work as well.
Spices. Simple yet flavourful with just salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Lemon juice. Lemon and dill are essential for a bright, fresh and light flavours.
The complete ingredient list with measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients (yogurt, mayonnaise, fresh dil, salt, pepper, garlic powder onion powder and lemon juice).
Adjust seasonings to desired taste. Serve with vegetables, chips or crackers and enjoy!
Substitutions and Variations
To make gluten-free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free. For a good gluten-free cracker, I love the Simple Mills almond flour crackers.
To make vegan: I have not tested this recipe using a vegan yogurt substitute, but I believe any thick plain yogurt should work. Siggis’s non dairy yogurt would be a great option.
To make nut-free: This recipe is naturally nut-free.
If you would like to replace the yogurt with additional mayonnaise feel free to add additional Greek yogurt. Note this will result in a slightly more bitter dip.
For a dill pickle variation, replace the lemon juice with 3 tablespoon pickle juice and add in ¼ quick finely diced pickles.
Equipment
Storage
This dip can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Top Tip
Ensure your spices are not expired for the freshest tasting dip. I highly recommend using fresh dill if you have it available.
