Greek yogurt is the defining base in this quick herb dip for vegetables.
This Greek yogurt veggie dip is a quick, creamy herb dip made with plain Greek yogurt, fresh dill, chives, parsley, lemon, garlic and onion. It takes about five minutes to mix, requires no mayonnaise or cream cheese, and pairs well with carrots, cucumber, broccoli, peppers and other fresh vegetables.
Keep the base distinct: serve cucumber alongside this yogurt-forward dip rather than grating it into the mixture. For a cucumber-forward cream-cheese and sour-cream dip, use the dedicated cucumber dill recipe.
Why This Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip Works
Greek yogurt already has a thick, creamy texture, so it needs little preparation. Herbs add freshness, lemon adds brightness, and garlic and onion create a savory background.
How thick should it be?
The finished dip should stay on a carrot or broccoli floret but still give easily when dipping cucumber or peppers. If it is too thick, add water or lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time. If it is already watery, avoid adding more liquid.

Can I use regular yogurt?
Yes, but regular yogurt is often looser than Greek yogurt. Start without additional liquid and adjust only after seeing the final consistency.
Make it ranch-style
Keep Greek yogurt as the base and emphasize dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. This keeps the ranch-style variation on the same yogurt base without changing the core recipe identity.
Greek yogurt dip vs. cucumber dill dip
This recipe is Greek yogurt + herbs. If you want grated cucumber inside the dip with cream cheese and sour cream, use Creamy Cucumber Dill Dip.
