Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Alternatively, use a garlic press to ensure the garlic is minced well for a smoother consistency in the dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise, stirring until smooth and well integrated.
Add the minced garlic to the yogurt and mayonnaise mixture, stirring continuously to evenly distribute the garlic.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix well. This adds a tangy freshness to the dip.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and incorporate it into the mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Add the onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir all ingredients until the dip is thoroughly blended.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
For the best flavor, cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with your choice of vegetable sticks, whole grain crackers, or use as a flavorful spread for sandwiches.
