SAVORY YOGURT DIP WITH FRESH HERBS
Flavored yogurt doesn’t always have to be sweet, savory yogurts are just as delicious when you’re in the mood for them. Greek yogurt makes a tasty dip to serve with vegetables or to use as a salad dressing.
To make a savory yogurt herb dip, add one cup of Greek yogurt into a blender. Toss in 1 and 1/2 cups of any fresh herbs you have on hand; basil, chives, and parsley work well together. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of water. Press one garlic clove and add to the blender, along with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Blend, chill, and get ready to eat with some crunchy vegetables. The Greek yogurt dip will keep well for around 3 days.
If you don’t have any fresh herbs on hand, you can also use dry herbs, like an Herbs de Provence.
LEMON LOVERS YOGURT
If you’ve never tried whipped yogurt, you’re in for a treat. The airy and creamy consistency of whipped Greek yogurt pairs great with a little bit of lemon flavor. The final product tastes more like a mousse than yogurt, so if you’re a fan of citrus desserts, this is a must-try.
In a large bowl, whisk a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. After the sugar’s dissolved, add one cup of your homemade yogurt and a teaspoon of lemon zest.
Whisk it up until it’s smooth and airy. Enjoy on its own or add some fresh citrus fruit on top.
SPICE IT UP GREEK YOGURT
When fresh ingredients are scarce, another delicious savory Greek yogurt idea is to simply add some spices. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper. You can also throw in a bit of lemon juice.
This simple, spicy yogurt is delectable as a snack on its own, or it can be served on top of a variety of healthy bowls, like a Mediterranean bowl or a chicken and rice bowl.
