Greek Yogurt Dip w/ Lemon & Dill
This Greek yogurt dip quickly and easily combines roasted garlic, dill, shallots, lemon, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and olive oil with a dash of salt and pepper. You can throw the entire thing together in just a couple of minutes. It works incredibly well topped on salmon, as a salad dressing, or as a dip for chips or toast. You can mix and match in your own citrus and herbs of choice.
Equipment

- Zester
Ingredients
- 2 cloves roasted garlic minced (or 1 clove unroasted garlic)
- 1/4 c. dill minced
- 1 tbsp. shallot minced
- 1 lemon zested & juiced
- 8 oz. Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- dash salt
- dash pepper
Instructions
Roast Garlic
- For this recipe, I already had roasted garlic in the fridge. I tend to roast a couple of heads of garlic every couple of weeks just so that I already have it when I need but. To recreate this, you follow my Roasted Garlic Recipe. It takes about an hour and requires a head of garlic, olive oil, and a garlic roaster or aluminum foil. Otherwise, use half the amount of unroasted garlic.
Prepare Dip
- Mince the garlic, dill, and shallot.
- Zest and juice a lemon.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator. This is a great recipe to make ahead of time because it keeps incredibly well in the refrigerator.
