Step 2. Finely grate the onion. I use a grater like this one.
Step 3. Add minced garlic, grated onion, Greek yogurt, dried dill, salt, and Worcestershire sauce to a bowl. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients.
Step 4. Transfer dip to an airtight container and refrigeration for at least 2 hours and ideally up overnight to allow flavors to meld.

Onion and Garlic: Out of onion and minced garlic? You can substitute onion and garlic powder. I would start with a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon each and see if you like the flavor. Remember the longer the dip sits, the stronger these flavors will become.
Greek Yogurt: While I made this recipe with low-fat Greek yogurt to decrease the saturated you could use the zero-fat, full-fat option, or even sour cream in a pinch.

I love this dip. I normally don't adjust anything, but I did add 2 tablespoons of sour cream and a tiny bit of lemon juice. This is a refreshing dip.
This super smooth and refreshing dressing brightens up everything it's served with. Made with Greek yogurt, lots of fresh and vibrant dill, cucumbers, and a hit of lemon juice. Drizzle over light salads and grilled meats.
Also, Greek yogurt is generally lower in fat and calories, making it a healthier alternative for those watching their weight or heart health. However, sour cream also has its own benefits. It is rich in calcium and vitamin A, making it a nutrient-dense addition to your diet.
The addition of just a small amount of lemon juice stirred into your Greek yogurt will brighten up its flavor and make it more closely resemble that of a true sour cream.
Made with plain or Greek yogurt, cider vinegar, chopped fresh parsley, and plenty dried herbs and spices, this easy yogurt dip offers a healthier alternative to traditional chip dips. In addition to raw veggies, I love it for dipping chips, crackers, and even homemade veggie nuggets.
The best low-fat Greek yogurt dill sauce recipe – also called tzatziki. It's healthy, high in protein, creamy, and tangy. Serve it with Summer crudité, warm pita, grilled veggies, chicken, or in gyros!
Dill is rich in a variety of plant compounds that may have numerous benefits for health, including protection against heart disease and certain forms of cancer. Additionally, dill may help lower blood sugar levels, but more human studies are needed.
Greek yogurt is made from cow's milk that is strained to remove the whey, this results in a thicker consistency compared to natural yogurt. It also has a tangier flavour and can often be used as a healthier substitute to mayonnaise, sour cream or crème fraîche.
Greek Yogurt Packs More Protein and Fewer Calories
Clocking in at 10 grams of protein and 110 calories per 1/2 cup serving, plain Greek yogurt (made with whole milk) is a great source of protein (both casein and whey) whereas mayo contains a measly 1 gram of protein per 1/2 cup — not to mention, 771 calories.
Greek yogurt is probiotic, meaning it is typically produced from live bacterial cultures. These bacteria can help support the good bacteria that already live in your digestive system. Consuming probiotics like Greek yogurt may improve your digestive system's ability to handle a wide variety of foods.
Fresh Lemon Juice - Lemon juice has a fairly mild lemon flavor — mostly what it adds to this sauce is a fresh, acidic flavor and a subtle lemon flavor. It also helps thin the Greek yogurt into a smooth sauce.
Sweeten them Naturally: Natural sweeteners like honey, pure fresh maple syrup, agave, or stevia can provide a delicious sweetness to your Greek yogurt.
Yogurt is your best substitute for sour cream. Whether you're baking or making a dip or sauce, yogurt is a 1:1 sub. That means if your recipe calls for 1 cup of sour cream, you can replace it with 1 cup of yogurt. Full-fat Greek or natural yogurts work best, but low-fat or even nonfat can be used, too.
From the pea family, fenugreek is one of the few rare plants that produces both an herb and a seed (which is considered a spice). The other two plants are the Coriandrum sativum which gives us both cilantro and coriander seeds and the dill which produces dill weed and dill seed.
Fresh dill sprigs are intrinsically blessed with an array of nutrients including Vitamin A, C, D, riboflavin, manganese, folate, iron, copper, potassium, magnesium, zinc and dietary fibres.
Tzatziki is a creamy cucumber yogurt dip (or sauce) made from simple ingredients including strained yogurt (or Greek yogurt), cucumbers, garlic, and sometimes fresh herbs such as dill or mint. Traditionally, it is made from strained sheep or goat's milk yogurt, but a full-fat Greek yogurt works just fine in this dip.
In Greece, dill is known as 'άνηθος' (anithos). In antiquity it was used as an ingredient in wines that were called "anithites oinos" (wine with anithos-dill). In modern days, dill is used in salads, soups, sauces, and fish and vegetable dishes.
