Greek Yogurt Dill Dip – Easy, Low Fat & High Protein

this post

This easy greek yogurt dill dip is a healthier alternative to traditional dips that is delicious and also packed with protein and probiotics. It’s low fat, high protein and perfect for parties, picnics, or dip to serve with veggies. 

The greek yogurt dill dip comes together in under 5 minutes and is how I get my toddler to eat her veggies. My little girl doesn’t love all my homemade salad dressings, but she loves yogurt and dill. Thus, I often make this greek yogurt dip for both of us to enjoy with fresh chopped veggie sticks.

It is the perfect healthy snack made with simple ingredients and tastes great with fresh vegetables. Serve it as a healthy snack with chopped vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, broccoli, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and celery. 

Plain greek yogurt is used as the base for the healthy dill dip as it has a thicker texture than regular plain yogurt. That being said, I often make it with low fat regular yogurt, too, but it does have a runnier consistency than greek yogurt.

The homemade dill dip is so easy to make. Measure dried herbs and coconut sugar into a small bowl with the greek yogurt and stir. Chop some fresh dill and add a squeeze of lemon juice and voila.

Enjoy with raw veggies, and you have a healthy snack made in 5 minutes, which is one of the reasons why this veggie dip has been a staple in my life lately. Quick, easy, and healthy is what I need!

Ingredients for the greek yogurt dill dip

• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tbsp dried dill)
• juice from 1 fresh lemon
• 1 tbsp dried chives
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
• Freshly cracked pepper and sea salt (to taste)
• 4 tsp coconut sugar (adjust to taste)

How to make dill dip with greek yogurt

1. Prepare Your Greek Yogurt: Place 1 cup of Greek yogurt in a mixing bowl. Greek yogurt is rich, creamy, and protein-packed, making it the perfect base for this dip.
2. Add Fresh Chopped Dill: Finely dice 3 tbsp of fresh chopped dill and add it to the Greek yogurt. Dill gives the dip a refreshing and herby flavor that pairs beautifully with the tanginess of the yogurt.
3. Garlic and Onion Flavors: Add 1/2 a tsp of garlic powder and onion salt to flavor the dip.
4. Chives: Incorporate one tablespoon of dried chives. Chives add a mild onion flavor and a pop of color to the dip.
5. Add Fresh Lemon Juice: Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the lemon juice into the dill yogurt sauce.
6. Pepper to Taste: Grind some freshly cracked black pepper into the mixture according to your preference. The pepper adds a subtle kick and balances out the creaminess.
7. Sweet Touch with Coconut Sugar: Add 4 teaspoons of coconut sugar for a hint of sweetness. Coconut sugar enhances the tangy yogurt and enhances the overall flavor profile. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.
8. Add Salt and Cracked Pepper: Gently stir all the ingredients until they’re well combined. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
9. Serve and Enjoy: It’s now ready to be enjoyed with your favorite fresh veggies or as a sauce for grilled chicken or fish.

Storage Tip: This greek yogurt dill dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips and substitutions

You can make this yogurt dill dip with only dried herbs as it is less time-consuming and doesn’t require buying additional fresh herbs, but adding fresh dill makes the most flavorful dip and is worth the extra time to chop. Try adding fresh parsley or green onions, or even add extra dill!

Add some lemon zest if like an extra lemony flavor.

Smoked paprika is another spice I often love adding to this healthy greek yogurt dill dip recipe. Sometimes, I add it, and sometimes, I don’t, so it depends on personal preference.

I watch my total fat intake, especially saturated fats; thus, I opted for low-fat Greek yogurt. Oikos fat-free greek yogurt is a great option that offers 17 grams of protein per 3/4 cup, but you can also use a full-fat greek yogurt. The choice is yours.

The yogurt dill vegetable dip is best served with your favorite fresh veggies. Bring it along to the next party you are headed to for a healthy appetizer.

This easy dill dip recipe contains fewer calories than most creamy dips. It is fantastic for weight loss, especially when served with fresh vegetables, which are the best foods to lower blood sugar levels and reverse insulin resistance.
