    Thick, creamy and flavourful yogurt herb dipping sauce is made with a few staple pantry ingredients. This easy greek yogurt dip requires a few ingredients that most probably everyone will have in the pantry and just 5 minutes of time to prepare it.

    Creamy yogurt dip makes a lovely addition to the vegetable platter. Cut assorted vegetables into sticks or any shape that's easy to hold and dip, arrange them on a plate and place a bowl of dipping sauce. Voila! a healthy and tasty appetiser is ready in no time. 

    Try cutting vegetables into fun shapes and making the platter more interesting and eye-appealing for kids. 

    This easy 5-minute greek yogurt dip is not only a great accompaniment with vegetable sticks but good with chips, homemade baked potato wedges, fried appetisers such as vegetable pakora and to spread in sandwiches or wraps. 

    Although plain yogurt is healthy some people don’t like the taste. Cucumber raita, Indian mint sauce, chocolate fruit dip, yogurt fruit dip and this creamy yogurt dip are a few exciting ways to turn plain yogurt into something yummy and addictive.

    Ingredients

    • Yogurt: Greek yogurt is perfect for its creamy texture.
    • Herbs: fresh parsley and dried thyme.
    • Seasoning: pepper, salt, garlic granules and cumin powder.
    • Oil: Olive oil imparts a lovely flavour.
    • Lemon Juice: to enhance the flavour and taste.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Place the yogurt in a bowl and whisk it until smooth and creamy.

    Now add the salt, pepper, thyme, garlic granules, parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.

    Stir well until all the ingredients are well combined and creamy.

    Serve the delicious garlic herb greek yogurt dip with vegetable sticks or with any appetiser of your choice.

    Substitutions

    Garlic granules could be replaced with garlic powder or minced fresh garlic.

    For vegan yogurt herb dip, replace regular dairy yogurt with vegan ones. 

    Lemon juice could be substituted with apple cider vinegar.

    Variations

    Mix in finely chopped green chili pepper or jalapeño to add heat to the dip.

    Try different herbs such as rosemary, mint or dill to switch flavours. 

    For low-calorie yogurt dip, use low fat or 0% fat Greek yogurt.

    Tips and Tricks

    Greek yogurt yields a thick and creamy dip. However, if you struggle to find it in local grocery stores then use thick natural yogurt. 

    Lemon juice adds a zing to the yogurt dip and elevates the flavour so try not to skip it.

    Store the dip in the fridge until ready to serve. 

    Roasted cumin powder imparts a lovely earthy flavour.

    Storage

    The leftover greek yogurt dip stays fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days if stored properly in an airtight container.

    Serving Suggestions

    Great dip in a vegetable platter.

    A healthy dip with sweet potato patties, vegetable quesadilla or chickpea veggie patties.

    Great to munch on with baked potato wedges and fried snacks such as my vegetable pakora.
