Ingredients for dill dip
Greek yogurt - Use plain yogurt without any flavorings added. I like to use full-fat Greek yogurt for taste and thickness. You can use fat free Greek yogurt if you prefer.
Sour cream - makes the dip thick and creamy and adds more nutritional value to the dip.
Dill - this herb is the star of this dip. Dill has a refreshing flavor and I used both fresh dill and dried dill to enhance it.
Fresh lemon juice - makes the dip fresh, tangy and irresistible. For a more intense flavor, you can add some lemon zest too.
Garlic - garlic powder or minced garlic if you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor.
Olive oil - thins down the dip and optional.
Seasonings - kosher salt, ground black pepper
Optional - add chopped chives, minced onions or onion powder if you like an onion-y taste.

how to store
If you have any leftover dill dip, I doubt you'll do, you can store the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
This dip keeps fresh, chilled in the fridge and overtime develops flavors. In case you see any excess water on the top, just stir it right back in. Check for seasoning and if it has mellowed, add some salt.
Can you make dill yogurt dip with regular yogurt?
Yes, you can make this dip with regular yogurt instead of greek yogurt. The consistency will be more of a sauce than a dip. You can get rid of the excess water in regular yogurt by letting it strain through a kitchen cloth placed on a strainer, overnight in the fridge.
What can I substitute for sour cream in the dip?
Sour cream adds tang and creaminess to this healthy dip. That being said, you can absolutely substitute it with more Greek yogurt. Or you can add mayonnaise too.
