Veg Dip


Beings our garden is in peak production right now, fresh veg is everywhere. From cucumbers to carrots, beans to green peppers. With all the veg around, there's got to be a dip to accompany it!! My kids will eat fresh veg if there's a dip. A friend introduced me to the concept of using Greek yogurt for dip so I had to find a way to make it fresh. Now, you can go ahead and make your own form of Greek yogurt (it's pretty simple), or you could just buy it at the store. I've done both. I'll just buy it when I need it. This dip keeps for about a week so give it a whirl!!

Veg Dip
2 cups (16 oz) Greek yogurt
1-2 clove garlic, minced depending on how much you like garlic
1 tsp dried or 1 Tbsp fresh, each, parsley, dill, mint, oregano, onion
1 Tbsp lemon juice


Allow to sit at least a couple hours before serving especially if using dried herbs. Serve with veg or as a replacement to mayo or on chicken burgers! Super, super good!!
