Dill and Shallot Lemony Yogurt Dip for the perfect side to chips! Light, lemony, and packed with dill and shallot, this dip won’t weigh you down.
I think there might be a sporting event this weekend? A large scale event perhaps? I don’t know a ton about football, I’m a soccer (aka European Football) gal. What I do know is that an event, like the Super Bowl, is a perfect excuse to gather with family and friends to … eat. And cheer on a football team, but primarily eat 😉 This Dill and Shallot Lemony Yogurt Dip is filled with dill, shallot, and lemon juice for a light but flavourful punch. I’ve been making this dip for a few years, unsure where it originated from, but still pleased to serve it at events and parties as a fresh take on dip.
We also use this dip with veggies and bread sticks, because when you have kids, breadsticks are a must. I don’t know when they fell out of style, but my kids love them and keeps them away from the chips a bit more at parties. My kids love this dip. They often have it with cracker as a healthier option for snack.
This dip also makes me think of Spring; it’s just around the corner with days already getting longer. I can’t wait! Dill and lemon really perk this dip up so that you don’t really notice it’s base is yogurt. If you’re totally against the idea of yogurt, sour cream will work. I’m more partial to yogurt over sour cream so that’s why we use it.
We love this dip turned sauce with couscous or roasted broccoli as well. It makes dinner much more pleasant when there’s a healthy sauce my kids love to use as a dip for veggies or to mix in with a grain.

ha! That should take care of the dill “issue” 😉
Beautiful pictures Samantha, and great recipe! I am with you, I’m Italian, so it’s all about soccer 🙂 . Your dip looks simply delicious!
Thank you! your comment means a lot. 🙂 PS – do you play soccer or prefer to participate via cheering? 😉
Love this! So easy to put together but great flavours. I’m definitely looking forward to Spring as well!
Thanks Brittani! Spring cannot come soon enough! Happy Friday!
Dill must be one of my favourite herbs and I sure don’t use it enough. This dip looks great!
Me too! Maybe because it feels more seasonal? It feels very Spring-like to me.
Football (European aka the real kind) is my sport as well! American football, especially Super Bowl weekend is all about the food for me. This dip sounds great and I love that it is made with yogurt – always good to sneak in a healthier ingredient amongst the fried treats 🙂
Woohoo to soccer!! To be honest, all the other flavours (dill, lemon, and shallot) are so great and strongly unifying that I don’t notice much of a difference between the yogurt or sour cream so why not go with healthier stuff?
This dip looks fabulous! I can not wait to try it out and I know my hubby will be thanking you for the recipe!!
Thanks so much Lily! I hope you both enjoy it if it ends up hitting your table 🙂
I love this dill dip recipe! I have a kitchen herb garden, and my dill has grown like crazy through the winter months. I’m eager to try this recipe out. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I hope you like it!
