  • 1 tsp dried dill Provides a herby flavor.
  • 1 tsp dried parsley or chopped fresh parsley For freshness and color.
  • 1 tbsp chives or green onion (fresh if possible) Adds oniony bite.
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder Rounds everything out.
  • to taste salt and black pepper Start small and adjust.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional) A squeeze to brighten it up.

Method
 

Preparation

  2. Add the grated garlic, dried dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  3. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Notes

The dip can be served with ridged potato chips, fresh veggies, or toasted pita wedges. If desired, sprinkle with additional chives and black pepper before serving. Leftovers can last in a sealed container for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Give it a stir before serving, as it may loosen slightly as it sits.
