Fresh herbs and vegetables can be gotten in the grocery store or grown at home. Some stores carry them in jars in the refrigerated produce section, making it convenient to keep on hand in the kitchen. I like growing them in pots by my back door for easy accessibility like my Mamaw used to do in Live Oaks And Green Onions. You should give planting them a try!
Instructions
Putting the Creaminess in the Fresh Herb Dip
There are 3 well-used items found in my refrigerator. They are mayonnaise, cream cheese, and greek yogurt. It seems we can't live without them. Together they make this dip smooth and thick.

Along with chopping the fresh dill, green onion, and parsley I press a couple of garlic cloves and add them to the three creamy ingredients.

After giving them a good stir, to combine all the flavors, I cover the container and keep it in the refrigerator, and that's it! See, I told you it was easy!
Substitutions
- Zydeco Chop Chop is a dry vegetable and herb mix that makes a great replacement for the fresh herbs in this recipe. The flavors are more concentrated than the fresh ingredients giving it a little different taste. i like both renditions.
- Sour cream can be easily substituted for the greek yogurt. The tastes are very similar.
