Ingredients
Just 6 easy-to-find ingredients come together to make this delicious Greek yogurt dill dip.
- Greek yogurt: I like plain Greek yogurt with 0% fat. You could use a full-fat Greek yogurt if you prefer. Look for one that is thick and creamy, like FAGE.
- Dill: Fresh dill is a must for a bright flavor.
- Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil to thin it out a bit and add some additional flavor.
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice to brighten it up.
- Garlic: For a burst of savory, you'll need a couple of cloves of minced garlic.
- Sea Salt: A sprinkle of sea salt to round out all the flavors.

How to Make Dill Yogurt Dip
- In a bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt until combined. Taste and adjust, adding more salt as needed.
- Serve with fresh veggies for dipping or as a sauce over your favorite dish.
Expert Tip: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow all those flavors to come together.
Variations
- Add more herbs. Add some finely chopped mint, parsley, basil, or cilantro if you love fresh herbs.
- Thin it out. Add a couple of teaspoons of water, stirring until desired consistency, to make it into a sauce for drizzling. This is perfect if serving it over grilled meat, fish, or roasted veggies.
- Make it creamier. Add a dollop or 2 of sour cream.
- Give it a kick. If you like spice, add in a minced jalapeño for a jalapeño dill yogurt dip.
- Add green onion. For an extra bite of flavor, stir in green onion slices.
Serving Suggestions
This dip is the perfect everyday snack, appetizer, or party dip. It pairs perfectly with raw veggies as a veggie dip, pita chips, crackers, or potato chips. Bring it to your next backyard BBQ, game day watch party, holiday dinner, or potluck brunch.
It's also great as a Greek yogurt dill sauce. Thin it out with a few splashes of water for drizzling over roasted veggies or grilled meats. Try it over roasted carrots, potatoes, or grilled fish. It's also an excellent dip for chicken nuggets or crispy cauliflower nuggets.
It's even a delicious spread for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers. Try it with these spinach feta chicken burgers.
Make Ahead and Storage
Make Ahead: This dip is perfect for making ahead. Let it rest for an hour before serving to combine all those flavors.
To Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Though you could use dried dill, fresh dill will have the brightest and freshest flavor. If substituting for dried dill, you won't need as much. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried dill for each tablespoon of fresh dill.
Add a teaspoon of water at a time for a thinner yogurt dip, stirring until desired consistency.
No, this yogurt dip is best with plain Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt won't be the right consistency, making the dip very runny and having a slightly different flavor.
