For this recipe, you\u2019ll need plain yogurt, mayo (to cut the tanginess of the yogurt), garlic powder, onion powder, lemon or lime juice, salt, and your preferred herbs. We recommend fresh dill, thyme, chives, or parsley. Hot take \u2013 I don\u2019t like dill-flavored anything, including pickles. But when I tried this dip with fresh dill, my taste buds were huge fans. If you are hesitant about dill, I encourage you to give this recipe a try!<\/p>\n<p>Dietary needs? If you or the people you\u2019re feeding have a dairy allergy or sensitivity, use a plain dairy-free yogurt. If anyone has an egg allergy, do not use regular mayonnaise because it contains eggs. Look for a plant-based or vegan mayonnaise option, or you can omit the mayonnaise altogether, which will make the dip a little more tangy but still delicious.<\/p>\n<h3>Why You\u2019ll Love This Dip<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Protein boost: Especially if using Greek yogurt, it will help keep you full longer.<\/li>\n<li>Calcium boost: a good source of calcium, which is important for bones and teeth.<\/li>\n<li>This dip is lower in salt and saturated fat compared to store-bought dips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Serving Suggestions<\/h3>\n<p>Try pairing this dip with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raw vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Pretzels or crackers<\/li>\n<li>Pita bread<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try this for your next party, it\u2019ll be a hit.
