Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the fresh dill, parsley, and chives. You will need approximately 2 tablespoons of dill and parsley each, and 1 tablespoon of chives.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt. Opt for a low-fat variety if you prefer a lighter texture.
Stir in the finely chopped dill, parsley, and chives into the yogurt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
Add 0.5 teaspoons of garlic powder and 0.5 teaspoons of onion powder to the mixture. These will enhance the savory flavor without adding sodium.
Pour in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to add a touch of acidity that balances the richness of the yogurt.
Add 0.25 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper for a hint of spice.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture, which will lend a silky texture and a subtle richness.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. Taste and adjust any of the flavors as desired, keeping in mind this is a low-sodium dish.
Transfer the herb-infused yogurt into a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or enjoy it solo as a savory snack.
