Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces unsalted cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and unsalted cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, onion powder, and ground black pepper to the yogurt and cream cheese mixture. Stir well to combine all spices and flavorings evenly.
Fold in the finely chopped chives using a spatula to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. For an extra zing, you can add more lemon juice, but remember to keep it low sodium.
Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and garnish with additional fresh chives if desired.
Serve the dip chilled with a platter of fresh vegetables, unsalted chips, or whole grain crackers.
