- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and ricotta cheese. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Add the freshly chopped parsley, dill, and chives to the yogurt and ricotta mixture. Mix gently to incorporate the herbs evenly throughout the dip.
Stir in the minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure the garlic is finely distributed throughout the dip.
Sprinkle in the onion powder and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all spices are fully combined and no streaks remain.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and fold it in until well-mixed. It will add a nice sheen and enhances the flavor.
For best results, cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
