Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon dried chives

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for an extra kick)

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the plain Greek yogurt and mayonnaise into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a whisk or a spatula to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.

    Next, pour in the fresh lemon juice, enhancing the dip’s flavor with a refreshing tang. Stir it into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.

      Now, sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, dried parsley, dried chives, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if you wish) over the mixture.

        Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix everything thoroughly until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed, creating a cohesive and flavorful dip.

          After mixing, taste the dip. If you find it necessary, adjust the flavor by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your personal preference.

            Once satisfied with the flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip into an airtight container to keep it fresh.

              Refrigerate the dip for a minimum of 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to blend beautifully for a more delicious taste.

                Serve your zesty dip alongside an array of fresh vegetables, crunchy chips, or as a delightful spread on your favorite sandwiches!
