Greek Yogurt Dip
We all need help of healthy veggie dip to eat more vegetables. I make healthy vegetable dip to make kids’ lunch boxes more exciting. Or whenever I have to bring an appetizer to a party, am short on time and don’t have time to make healthy deviled eggs.
Homemade veggie dip is so easy to make! I would rather eat vegetables without a dip than with a store bought one. It tastes sweet and not fresh to me. This recipe is basically a version of my healthy ranch.
To make this healthy dip, all you need is yogurt and a few pantry staples. Only 5 ingredients!
How to Make Healthy Vegetable Dip
Homemade veggie dip is so much better for you. No preservatives and way less sodium. Not to mention that it tastes better and fresh!
- Use regular or Greek plain yogurt. Regular yogurt contains more whey than Greek. If you have time, strain it in a colander lined with linen towel over a bowl for about 1 hour. If not, dip will accumulate more whey on top with time – just stir before serving. Either way works.
- Add fresh or dried herbs. Very finely chopped dill or parsley are the best herbs for a veggie dip. Previously frozen are OK as well. If you are making this ranch style dip mid-winter, dried dill weed would work. Obviously not as good as fresh but you will get desired flavour pretty close.
- Add pantry staples and stir: Garlic powder, salt and pepper. I used garlic powder for a subtle garlic flavour. You can use tiny grated garlic clove too.
More Tips and Storage
- I prefer organic or grass-fed local dairy to avoid herbicides in our food, specifically glyphosate RoundUp.
- Higher fat content yogurt is better. I usually buy yogurt 3.5 % fat content. 2% is great too. Stay away from non-fat 0% yogurt as it tastes chalky and bland.
- Veggie dip should be a bit more salty than you are used to because we are dipping unsalted veggies in it.
- I like to store dip in a glass Mason jar with plastic lid. I often make it right in it and shake.
- Dip stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Stir each time before serving.
Serve your veggie dip traditionally on a platter with raw vegetables or include it as part of a charcuterie board with a cheese ball when entertaining!

Make mine with soy yogurt since I’m lactose-intolerant. It just needed about 1tbsp of lemon juice and it tasted great.
I also more than doubled the amount of garlic but that’s on me and my trash taste buds.
Thank you for sharing how it went with soy yogurt! Glad you enjoyed it!
Simple, quick, healthy and delicious!
Made it with 3% Balkan yogurt and frozen fresh dill (I now always have fresh dill available, yay!)
Was about to make your also delicious hummus to eat with fresh veggies but I was out of chickpeas..!
So happy you enjoyed the dip! And I have a feeling you will love the hummus too 🙂
A very good, healthy dip. I added a little of Trader Joe’s chili lime seasoning to it also because I did not have as much fresh dill as I would have liked to have had for the recipe.
That’s great Rio! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Olena, I was so happy to find your site when I was looking for a veggie dip recipe. Thanks, I will give it a try.
We live on Vancouver Island, BC too! My husband and I moved to Nanaimo in 1994 and in 2003 we moved to Nanoose Bay where we still reside with our two dogs. Just thought I would say “Hi” from one islander to another 🙂
Hello Louise! I am thrilled that you found my website! Thank you for sending me a message to say hello! Vancouver island is an amazing place to live!
Easy, quick and delicious. I didn’t want to buy pre-made dip. Found this on the internet. So good with fresh cut veggies. Good snacking.
Thanks for sharing your positive feedback Janet 🙂
