Greek yogurt cucumber dill dip is full of flavor and goes well with vegetables, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and meat.
This Greek yogurt cucumber dill dip is one of my new go to vegetable dips. A lot of similar dips use mayonnaise or sour cream as a base which can be very fattening and high in calories.
I use Greek yogurt here and the flavors are just as good, if not better. Once Greek yogurt is flavored it still has the same creamy texture.
Aside from vegetables, this dip also goes well with pita chips, on salads, and as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. It’s also a great sauce or side with meat dishes. The possibilities are endless. It’s light, fresh, and goes well with many different types of foods.

Ingredients
What you’ll need to make this recipe.
- Plain greek yogurt
- Cucumber
- Salt
- Dill weed
- Lemon
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
How to make this recipe
The fresh dill really takes this dip to the next level. Dried dill can be used if that is what is available, but I think the fresh dill gives a flavor pop here.
1 – Place finely diced cucumber in medium bowl. Add salt and mix well.
2 – Transfer cucumber and salt mixture to a colander. Allow water to drain from cucumber, about 20 minutes. The salt will help draw out the excess water.
3 – While the cucumbers are draining, add the Greek yogurt, dill weed, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to medium sized bowl.
4 – Once the cucumbers are done draining, add them to the rest of the ingredients and mix together well.
What goes with dill Dip?
A combination of cut vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes, broccoli, sugar pea pods, and cauliflower are good will dill dip.
Crackers, chips, pretzels or crusty breads work well, too.
You can also add to salmon, steak, spread on burgers, or anywhere you would use dressings.
How do I store my dill dip?
Cucumber dill dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Greek yoghurt is amazing in dips, a little lighter but still really delicious! Also love the addition of fresh dill, fresh herbs are life!

I love simple dips like this! The Greek yogurt trick has been great for getting my kids to eat more vegetables at dinner time, but in a healthy way. I’ll try this flavour next!

My brother in law LOVES dill. He says that it isn’t enough dill until all you see is green. Definitely going to make this for him. Maybe add more dill for his liking, haha

I was in love with this dip when I made it last time, however I did not added onion powder to it. I will surely try this as mentioned in your recipe. A perfect dip with salads.
simplylowcal
Thanks! It does make a great topping on salads. 🙂
Beth
I love how simple this is, with mostly ingredients I have in my yard or kitchen. I use CoYo non-dairy yogurt, which has the closest consistency to Greek dairy yogurt, in case that’s helpful to know. Thanks!
simplylowcal
That sounds like a great dairy free substitute. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
