2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
1 teaspoon good-quality olive oil optional but recommended
to taste salt start with ¼ teaspoon

Method

Place the Greek yogurt in a medium mixing bowl and whisk gently until silky and smooth.
Add the finely minced garlic to the yogurt and stir well, releasing a fragrant aroma as the garlic disperses evenly.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the bowl, whisking to combine. You should notice a bright, zesty scent as it integrates into the creamy base.
Finely chop the dill, then fold it into the mixture, distributing the herbs evenly for bursts of freshness in every bite.
Drizzle in the olive oil and stir gently to add a silky sheen and a subtle fruity aroma that complements the herbs and tang.
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, tasting and adjusting until the flavors are balanced and vibrant.
Once everything is well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Give the dip a gentle stir before serving, ensuring it’s creamy, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned. Serve with fresh vegetables, pita, or your favorite snacks.
