Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
