09 - 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
10 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

# Steps:

01 - Whisk together Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, which means you can throw it together while your guests are literally arriving.
  • The tangy brightness from Greek yogurt means it actually tastes better than the heavy, mayonnaise-forward dips that leave you feeling sluggish.
  • Fresh herbs make it taste like you spent hours on this, when really you just chopped a few things.
02 -
  • The dip gets better over the first 24 hours—the herbs keep releasing flavor—so make it the day before if you can.
  • Fresh herbs are non-negotiable here; dried herbs taste like you're making something from a box, and this dish is too simple to hide behind that.
03 -
  • Squeeze your lemon juice fresh right before mixing—it makes an actual difference in brightness that bottled juice can't replicate.
  • If you're making this ahead, the dip tastes noticeably better after sitting overnight, so plan accordingly for maximum flavor.
