A fresh, creamy, and healthy vegetable dip bursting with crisp spring flavors, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 medium fresh cucumber, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and finely dice the cucumber, grate the carrots, thinly slice the radishes, and finely chop the green onions. This takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Set aside with the vegetables.
  3. In a food processor or blender, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Pulse briefly for chunkier texture if preferred.
  4. Transfer the creamy base to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the prepared vegetables and herbs, mixing evenly but not overmixing.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and dip firm up slightly before serving.

Notes

For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with plant-based yogurts or blended soaked cashews and add lemon juice for tang. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Stir in a teaspoon of water or milk if dip is too thick after chilling. Fresh herbs are key for bright flavor; avoid dried herbs. Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Adding a pinch of smoked paprika or hot sauce can add a subtle kick.
