Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for an extra creamy texture)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon dried chives

¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, begin by combining the plain Greek yogurt and mayonnaise (if you choose to use it). Use a whisk or a spatula to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Next, pour in the fresh lemon juice along with the garlic powder, onion powder, and all the dried herbs: dill, parsley, and chives.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, along with a pinch of cayenne pepper for those who enjoy a bit of heat.

Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and your dip has a smooth consistency.

Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip into an airtight container. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Just before serving, give the dip a good stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne as desired.
