Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (preferably Fage Total 5% for a richer, creamier texture)
- 4 tbsp parsley (finely minced into 1/8-inch pieces)
- 1.5 tbsp dill
- 3 tsp apple cider vinegar (such as Bragg for consistent acidity)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 4 tablespoons of finely minced parsley, and 1.5 tablespoons of dill. Mix these together to form the base of your dip.
- Add Seasonings: Incorporate 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes into the yogurt mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Refrigerate the dip for at least 8 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the dip to thicken, resulting in a creamy and flavorful experience.
- Serve: After chilling, give the dip a quick stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, pita bread, crackers, or as a sauce alongside grilled meats or dishes of your choice.
Notes
- Using full-fat Greek yogurt enhances the creaminess and depth of flavor.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or some finely chopped garlic instead of powder.
- This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes based on your preferred level of spiciness.
- Make sure to mince the parsley finely for the best texture.
