Dip Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk plain Greek yogurt (preferably Fage Total 5%)
- 6 medium radishes (finely grated)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 1/2 tbsp thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Radishes: Grate the radishes using a box grater. Place the grated radishes in a paper towel and squeeze out the excess liquid to ensure the dip will have a crisp texture and not become watery.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the grated radishes, grated garlic, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped green onions, and sliced mint leaves. Season the mixture with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Refrigerate and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled as a refreshing and healthy side or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated radishes to keep the dip from becoming watery.
- Use whole milk Greek yogurt for a creamy texture; you can adjust to lower-fat options if preferred.
- Fresh mint is key for authentic and bright flavor; substitute with dill if desired for a different twist.
- This dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness.
- Great served with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches.
