Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a small skillet over low heat. Add the olive oil and peeled garlic cloves.
Sauté the garlic cloves, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and slightly softened. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Finely mince or mash the sautéed garlic cloves into a paste. Add them to the bowl with the creamy mixture.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can grate in one raw garlic clove and mix it in.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of bread, crackers, or vegetables, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld further.
