Preparing Dill Dip
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp dried dill
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp water
- Pinch of sugar (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Peel and mince the garlic. Juice half of a lemon to yield 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
Step 2: Mix Everything Together
- In a small bowl or mason jar, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, dried dill, salt, pepper, onion powder, water, and sugar (if using).
Step 3: Let the Flavours Develop
- Stir well until smooth and combined. Let the dip sit in the refrigerator for at least 15–30 minutes to allow the flavours to fully marry.
Substitution Options
- Greek Yogurt Swap: Use plain Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt for a thicker, higher-protein dip.
- Lightened-Up Version: Replace mayonnaise with additional yogurt for a lighter option.
- Fresh Dill Option: Substitute 1–2 tablespoons of fresh dill for dried dill (reduce slightly since fresh dill is milder).
- Dairy-Free Version: Use dairy-free yogurt and vegan mayonnaise.
- Garlic Powder Substitute: Replace fresh garlic with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder if needed.
- No Sugar: Omit sugar entirely or substitute with a drop of honey for a subtle sweetness.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving if separation occurs.
