Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • It is similar in taste to a tzatziki sauce but without the cucumber.
  • Greek yogurt dill dipping sauce pairs well with so many things!
  • This dill veggie dip is made without mayonnaise or sour cream.

Ingredients Notes

Ingredients for greek yogurt dill dip.
  • Greek yogurt - I recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt for this recipe for maximum flavor.
  • Dill - you can use dried dill weed or fresh dill! Both variations are included in the recipe card below.
  • Garlic - fresh garlic add a nice zing to every bite.
  • Onion powder - adds flavor throughout the yogurt spread.
  • Garlic powder - spreads additional flavor through the dip.
  • Lemon - you will need the zest of the lemon as well as the juice. Lemon adds so much brightness!
  • Salt - just a pinch of salt brings out each flavor.

See recipe card for quantities.

Substitutions

  • Dairy-free - use a plain dairy-free yogurt. If possible use a thicker yogurt.
  • Low-fat - use low-fat yogurt instead of full-fat. It will taste more tangy and tart in flavor so you may need to adjust the rest of the seasonings a bit.
  • Mint - use fresh mint leaves in place of the dill for a Greek yogurt mint sauce.

Variations

  • Tzatziki - add in shredded or finely diced cucumber. Use about ¼ cup to ½ cup of cucumber. This will add some texture and freshness!
  • Feta - add ¼ cup of feta cheese crumbles
  • Spicy - add in a minced jalapeño pepper.
  • Dill pickle dip - add in ¼ cup to ½ cup of chopped dill pickles!
  • Less tart - add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Step by Step Instructions

Hint: if possible, allow the dip to sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. This will allow all of the flavors to marinate together.

Storage

Store the yogurt dill sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Make sure to stir it well before serving as yogurt tends to separate.

I do not recommend freezing this sauce.

Tips and Tricks

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a more rich and creamy taste! The full-fat yogurt balances out the rest of the flavors in this dip.
  • Use fresh lemons when available instead of bottled lemon juice. The fresh lemon zest really brightens up the dip!

Yes use fresh dill if you have it available! This recipe includes variations for fresh or dried dill weed.

How do I make this taste less tart?

Add a tiny drizzle of honey or maple syrup to help balance out the tartness.
