I first posted this recipe in Live Oaks And Green Onions some time back. This is the one thing my daughter asks me to do every time she comes home for a visit.

Fresh Herb Dip is a refreshing, flavor-packed creamy dip that's super easy to prepare. And the best thing is it's more than just a sauce for dipping.

You can use it to dress up your veggies like baked potatoes or slather it on a sandwich with your favorite meat, cheese, and bread. Or how about rolling in a tortilla for pinwheels? So many ways to like this dip!

Ingredients

Start by chopping the herbs.

A wooden board with fresh herbs and a bulb of garlic.
  • cream cheese
  • mayonnaise
  • Greek yogurt
  • green onion
  • fresh parsley
  • fresh dill
  • crushed garlic
  • salt
  • cayenne pepper

Fresh herbs and vegetables can be found 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 Mawmaw 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.

The Greek yogurt doesn't last very long in our fridge. I like to mix Greek yogurt with fruit and add stevia to it. It's my guilt-free snack any time of the day.

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 slightly different taste. I like both renditions.
  • Sour cream can be easily substituted for the greek yogurt. The tastes are very similar.

This cool and refreshing creamy sauce is more than a dip. It has a Greek yogurt base flavored with fresh dill, parsley, green onions, and garlic. 

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 8-ounce block of cream cheese

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons chopped green onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill

½ teaspoon crushed garlic

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer for a few minutes until it is softened and easily blended with the other ingredients.

Add the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, mixing until well combined.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients to incorporate.

Pour into a covered container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

This dip is delicious with fresh veggies, crackers, chips, and even on french fries, a sandwich, or baked potato.

If using dried instead of fresh herbs, use ⅓ less the amount as fresh because dried herbs are more potent in flavor than fresh ones.
