Herbed yoghurt dip is a fresh, tangy, and flavorful addition to any meal. Perfect as a side dish, dip, or spread, this recipe combines the creamy texture of Greek yogurt with the zesty brightness of lemon and the robust flavors of garlic and spice mix. It’s not only delicious but also easy to make, making it an ideal choice when you need something quick and impressive.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp lemon zest
30g
1/3 cup spice mix
50g
1.50 cups greek yogurt
360g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Garlic:
- 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.
2. Zest the Lemon:
- 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.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the yogurt.
4. Add the Lemon Zest and Spice Mix:
- 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.
5. Mix Thoroughly:
- Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and the dip has a consistent texture.
6. Taste and Adjust:
- 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.
7. Chill:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.

Herbed yoghurt dip is a versatile and delightful recipe that brings a burst of flavor to any dish. With a combination of garlic, lemon zest, and a well-chosen spice mix, this dip is sure to become a favorite. Not only is it simple to prepare, but it's also a healthy and delicious option for any occasion.
