Method

Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the fresh herbs and measure out the spices.
Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and fresh lime juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add Herbs & Spices: Stir in the chopped herbs (parsley, cilantro, or dill), garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and adjust seasoning if needed.
Chill: For the best flavor, cover and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: Garnish with lime wedges or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired. Serve with fresh veggies, tortilla chips, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can still be tasty after a day or two in the fridge.
Make it Spicy: Add a chopped jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
Vegan Option: Swap Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond milk-based yogurt.
Nutritional Boost: To make this dip even more filling, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds for a fiber boost.
