Yogurt & Herbs
- 400g Greek yogurt
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp mint, chopped
To Serve
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Drain the yogurt: Tip the Greek yogurt into a fine sieve set over a bowl and place it in the fridge for 1 hour to allow excess liquid to drain off. This step thickens the yogurt for a creamy, dip-like texture. Discard the liquid that has drained off.
- Mix the ingredients: Scrape the thickened yogurt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the finely sliced spring onions and most of the chopped dill and mint, reserving a little of the herbs for garnish.
- Serve: When ready to serve, drizzle the dip with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle the remaining herbs over the top along with a little black pepper to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Draining the yogurt is key to achieving the desired thick and creamy consistency.
- You can substitute or add other fresh herbs like parsley or chives for different flavor profiles.
- This dip pairs well with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a condiment for grilled meats.
- Store covered in the fridge and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
