Easy Greek Yogurt Dip
This Easy Greek Yogurt Dip blends plain whole milk Greek yogurt with cumin, chili powder, and fresh parsley to create a creamy, mildly spiced spread. The dip offers a smooth texture with herbaceous notes and a subtle warmth from chili and cumin, making it a versatile accompaniment to raw vegetables, cheese crisps, or pork rinds. Letting the dip rest before serving helps the flavors meld.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped, or cilantro
Optional garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
Instructions
- In a small serving bowl, add the Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, and chopped parsley.
- Mix with a small rubber spatula.
- Allow the dip to rest for ten minutes at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld. This step is not mandatory, but it does improve the dip's flavor.
- Give the dip another quick stir, then serve it with cut-up veggies, cheese crisps, or plain pork rinds.
Notes
- Rest the dip for 10 minutes before serving to meld the flavors effectively.
- Use plain whole milk Greek yogurt for best texture; avoid reduced-fat or nonfat versions.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container up to 4-5 days.
- Do not freeze this dip, as freezing alters its texture unfavorably.
- The dip is portable and stays fresh for several hours with an ice pack, making it suitable for packed lunches.
