Herbed yoghurt dip is a fresh, tangy, and flavorful addition to any meal.

It’s not only delicious but also easy to make, making it an ideal choice when you need something quick and impressive.
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the 2 garlic cloves. Mince or finely chop them, making sure they are as fine as possible to mix well with the yogurt.
- Zest a lemon until you have 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Ensure you only zest the outer yellow layer, avoiding the white pith which can be bitter.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the yogurt.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Gradually add the 1/3 cup of your preferred spice mix. Common options could include a combination of herbs like dill, parsley, chives, cumin, coriander, or any custom spice blend that you prefer.
- Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and the dip has a consistent texture.
- Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add a pinch of salt or a dash of pepper if needed, according to your preference.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the herbed yogurt dip chilled with an assortment of your favorite vegetables, chips, or flatbreads. It also pairs well as a sauce for grilled meats or as a sandwich spread.
Tips:
- For a stronger garlic flavor, you can finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest according to your taste preference.
- You can use homemade or store-bought spice mix. Choose a blend that suits your palate, such as Mediterranean, Italian, or herbes de Provence.
- Allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, crackers, or use as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
- For a lighter version, you can use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt, but it may be less thick and creamy.
