The Kitchn: Cool, creamy herbed yogurt dip is my go-to make-ahead snack

Megan Gordon, TheKitchn.com on

When you need a quick and easy snack, Greek yogurt dip is the perfect solution. It comes together in just about 5 minutes and is easy to customize. Plus, you can make it ahead.

There’s nothing terribly complicated about this recipe, but we love the fact that it’s made with all yogurt — so many herbed dips are made with a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise, making for a heavier appetizer. This yogurt is thick and creamy, yet simultaneously light and tangy.

Tips for making yogurt dip

Herbed Greek Yogurt Dip

Makes about 1 cup

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon minced scallions (white and light green parts only)

3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill fronds

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

 

1 tablespoon thinly-sliced fresh basil leaves

1 teaspoon sherry vinegar

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Serving options: fresh vegetables, pita bread, chips, or crackers

1. In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste. Serve with your favorite fresh vegetables, pita bread, chips or crackers.

Recipe notes: For a slightly less tangy dip, feel free to substitute half of the yogurt for sour cream. Cover and refrigerate leftovers and enjoy within three to four days.
