Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, ensuring it is at a cool room temperature for optimal mixing consistency.
- Pour the garlic-infused olive oil into the yogurt, which provides a rich garlic flavor without using whole garlic cloves that might trigger FODMAP sensitivities.
- Add fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and enhance the dip's tanginess. Squeeze directly from a fresh lemon for the best taste.
- Sprinkle salt to taste, starting with a small amount and gradually adding more while tasting to achieve the perfect seasoning.
- Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, with the oil evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, using a spatula to ensure all mixture is scraped from the mixing bowl.
- Finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top of the dip as a garnish, adding both visual appeal and a fresh herbal note.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together, though the dip can be served immediately.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your Greek yogurt is at cool room temperature for smooth mixing and optimal consistency.
- Garlic-Infused Oil Hack: Use garlic-infused olive oil to add rich garlic flavor without triggering FODMAP sensitivities.
- Fresh is Best: Always use fresh lemon juice and squeeze directly from the fruit for the brightest, most vibrant flavor.
- Seasoning Strategy: Add salt gradually and taste as you go to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
- Garnish with Flair: Finely chopped fresh parsley not only looks beautiful but adds a burst of fresh herbal notes.
- Flavor Development: While you can serve immediately, chilling the dip for 15-30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
