Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip (Printable Version)

Smooth, tangy yogurt paired with honey and citrus zest offers a fresh, healthy fruit accompaniment.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk or 2%)

→ Sweeteners & Flavorings

02 - 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
03 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

→ Citrus

05 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon if using, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
02 - Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and fully blended.
03 - Transfer dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
04 - Serve the dip chilled alongside an assortment of fresh fruits such as strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple, or melon.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than it does to wash the bowl afterward.
  • The tanginess of Greek yogurt keeps it from feeling too sweet or cloying.
  • You can adjust the honey to your taste without ruining anything.
  • It turns a simple fruit tray into something people actually get excited about.
02 -
  • Do not skip the lemon zest, it does more for the flavor than the juice alone ever could.
  • If your yogurt is too runny, the dip will slide right off the fruit, so choose a thick Greek yogurt.
  • Taste before you chill, you can always add more honey but you cannot take it back.
03 -
  • Use a microplane to zest the lemon directly over the bowl so you catch all the oils.
  • Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for ten minutes before mixing, it blends smoother that way.
  • If you are serving this at a party, set the bowl on a bed of ice to keep it cold longer.
