Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
- 1 loaf Round loaf of rye bread
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Add the dried dill weed, dried parsley, minced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices throughout the dip.
Cover the dip with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the dip is chilling, prepare the rye bread. Cut the top off the round loaf of rye bread and hollow out the center, leaving a thick shell to create a bread bowl. Reserve the removed bread chunks for serving.
Just before serving, carefully pour the chilled dill dip into the prepared bread bowl.
Place the bread bowl in the center of a serving plate or platter. Arrange the reserved bread chunks around the bowl for easy dipping.
If desired, garnish the dip with a sprinkle of fresh dill for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Rye Bread and Dill Dip!
