- Healthy Ingredients: No added sugars. Just natural, real single-food ingredients.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (preferably grass-fed & full-fat for creaminess and added health benefits)
- 1 organic lime, juiced (optional but adds a refreshing sour punch!)
- 1 tsp organic garlic powder
- 1.5 tsp organic onion powder
- 1 or 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 to 1 tbsp organic dried oregano
- 1/2 to 1 tbsp organic dried dill
- Optional: Chopped organic fresh white or purple onion and organic cucumber for added crunch (adjust taste).
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt.

Serving Suggestions
- Veggie Platter: Pair it with carrot sticks, celery, bell peppers, or cucumbers for a fresh and healthy snack.
- Wraps and Sandwiches: Use it as a flavorful spread in wraps or sandwiches (I recommend gluten free brands like Pacha and Base Culture) to add creaminess without the extra calories of mayo.
- Protein Topping: Spoon it over grilled chicken, next to your eggs, meatballs (stay tuned for my meatball recipe coming soon), or even salmon for a zesty boost.
- Snack Boards: Include it in a snack board alongside Brad’s Flat crackers, cheese, and veggies for a healthier appetizer option.
