Start by removing any skin or bones from the smoked trout fillets. Use your fingers to flake the trout into small pieces and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and low-fat cream cheese to the bowl with the smoked trout. Using a fork, gently mash and stir the ingredients until well combined and creamy.
Mix in the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and horseradish. Stir until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Fold in the chopped dill, parsley, and chives, ensuring they are evenly mixed into the dip.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring one final time to incorporate the seasonings.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, give the dip a quick stir. Serve chilled alongside an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks or whole grain crackers for dipping.
