Base Ingredients
1 cup Greek Yogurt
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Optional Variations
Fresh herbs (dill or parsley) for herb infusion
Chopped jalapeños or cayenne pepper for spicy kick
Grated Parmesan or feta cheese for cheesy delight
Finely chopped bell peppers or cucumbers for vegetable boost
Dairy-free yogurt alternative for vegan adaptation
Instructions
Prepare the Shallots: Begin by thinly slicing the shallots. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the shallots. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a smooth and creamy base for your dip.
Combine and Serve: Add the crispy shallots to the yogurt mixture and gently fold them in. Reserve a few crispy shallots for garnishing later. Transfer the dip to your serving bowl and top with the reserved shallots for that perfect finishing touch.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying shallots.
Let the dip chill for at least an hour before serving for the best flavor.
Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor.
Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs or microgreens for an elegant presentation.
