Pistachio and Yogurt Dip

Creamy, tangy, nutty, pistachio and yogurt dip with a hint of garlic, lemon and dill. A healthy and tasty accompaniment for chips and lavash.

Hello HTS Community

Another very simple, easy, yet delicious dip recipe is here for you. The base is hung curd/yogurt/labneh, mixed with a pistachio, dill and garlic paste. This dip tastes so fresh and is a perfect accompaniment with chips, wafers, lavash, nachos and even vegetables.

In my earlier posts, I’ve mentioned a couple of other dips under the category of Chutney, Sauces and Dips, consisting of a variety of hummus recipes, dips with yogurt/labneh as a base and Indian chutneys. I find these dips are an important part of each get together and all my friends look forward to trying something new every-time. They are easy to make and trust me, people are going to love them.

The ingredients used in the recipe are easily available in every pantry, and if you cannot find fresh dill, you can simply skip it.
