Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • 1 cup baby carrots or sliced regular carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber slices (English cucumber works well)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup bell pepper strips (mix colors for visual appeal)
  • ½ cup snap peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • ½ cup radishes, thinly sliced
  • Whole grain crackers or pita chips (about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dip (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 small minced garlic clove. Whisk together gently until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill if fresh isn’t available. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle in 1 teaspoon olive oil if you want extra richness. Stir to combine and set aside in the fridge to let the flavors meld (about 10 minutes is ideal, but you…
  2. Wash and Slice Veggies (10-15 minutes): Rinse all vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds or half-moons. Halve cherry tomatoes. Cut bell peppers into strips, aiming for uniform size to keep things neat. Thinly slice radishes. Trim snap peas and peel carrots if needed. The goal is nice, bite-sized pieces that are easy to grab.
  3. Arrange the Grazing Board (5 minutes): On your serving platter or board, start by placing the bowl of Greek yogurt dip in the center or slightly off-center for visual interest. Arrange the veggies around the dip in small clusters or lines — think of it like a colorful rainbow. Scatter whole grain crackers or pita chips in the empty spaces to fill out the board. If you’re adding extras like olives or cheese cubes, tuck them in between the veggies for variety.
  4. Final Touches: Give the dip a quick stir before serving. Optionally, sprinkle a bit more fresh dill or a pinch of smoked paprika on top for color and a hint of smoky flavor. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep everything fresh.

Notes

Dip can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and kept refrigerated. For dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt. Use dried dill if fresh is unavailable. Roasting veggies is an option for added sweetness and depth. Keep veggies dry to avoid soggy crackers. Pack dip separately for on-the-go to prevent sogginess.
