A few years ago, I discovered that Greek yogurt could be substituted for sour cream in almost anything. Game changer. Sour cream, while delicious, is a product I avoid when I’m trying to eat a healthy diet and Greek yogurt is full of health benefits!

This recipe is so full or herby-garden-goodness and you can eat it guilt free.
Don’t believe me? Whip up a batch (only takes a few minutes) and you’ll see. If my teenagers are eating it, it has passed some sort of complicated test for deliciousness!
You can grow almost all the ingredients in your backyard, which makes this recipe inexpensive and takes advantage of the full flavor and nutrients that herbs have to offer.
This recipe can be made by chopping all the veggies and herbs up for a chunky dip or thrown in the blender for a quicker version – but it will become light green rather than white just in case you care. As with so many dips that contain garlic and onion, the flavor will improve and get strong if you make it a day ahead and keep it in the fridge.
Serve chilled with your favorite selection of veggies from the garden.
The flavors of produce fresh from the garden are so much more intense than those that have been sitting on the produce section shelf for days. Go ahead and be smug about how you grew this recipe in your own backyard!

And then use your empty Greek yogurt container to plant more seedlings! Yay for sustainability and yummy dip!!!!🙌🏽👍🏽
This was delicious and very easy to prepare. I didn’t use a blender / mostly because I hate to clean it – but this mixed up very easily and I liked the chunks of veggies. I think you have converted me from sour cream to Greek yogurt!!
This dip is great, I like it chunky and on grilled chicken. I poured diced jalapeños in it the 3rd day and used it as a dip for quesadillas! So fresh and delicious.
Oh, jalapenos would be a great addition to this – and right from the garden!
