Everything Bagel Greek Yogurt Dip is a deliciously creamy and flavorful dip that combines the tangy goodness of Greek yogurt with the savory spices of an everything bagel seasoning. It’s a perfect appetizer or snack that’s easy to make and pairs well with veggies, crackers, or even as a spread for sandwiches. This dip is not only tasty but also healthier than traditional creamy dips, thanks to the protein-packed Greek yogurt.
Here’s how to make Everything Bagel Greek Yogurt Dip:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat or 2% for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, Everything Bagel seasoning, mayonnaise (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
2. Season to Taste:
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt and pepper if necessary, and feel free to adjust the amount of Everything Bagel seasoning to your taste.
3. Chill (Optional):
- For the best flavor, cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- However, you can also serve it immediately if you're in a rush.
4. Serve:
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers such as fresh vegetables (carrot sticks, cucumber, bell pepper), crackers, pita chips, or even on a bagel or toast.
5. Garnish (Optional):
- For extra flavor and a nice presentation, garnish the dip with freshly chopped parsley or chives before serving.
Tips:
- Make Your Own Everything Bagel Seasoning: If you can’t find Everything Bagel seasoning, you can easily make your own by combining 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes, 1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes, and a pinch of salt.
- Adjust Creaminess: If you want a creamier dip, add a little more mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, or even a splash of sour cream.
- Add Heat: For a spicy version, mix in some crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
