Step-by-Step Instructions for Winter Herb Dip

Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by gathering all your fresh herbs and other ingredients. Finely chop the mint, parsley, dill, and thyme (or rosemary). Zest your lemon, juice it, and finely mince the garlic if using. Having everything prepped will make mixing a breeze.
Combine the Base Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of plain coconut yogurt. This will be the creamy, dairy-free base of your dip.
Mix in the Fresh Herbs
Add the chopped mint, parsley, dill, and thyme (or rosemary) to the bowl with the yogurt. The herbs will bring a vibrant and fresh flavor to the dip.
Add the Seasoning
Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of onion powder. If you love garlic, add your minced clove now. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix Everything Together
Using a spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. The yogurt should take on the green flecks of the fresh herbs, giving it a festive, vibrant look.
Taste and Adjust
Give the dip a taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preferences.
Chill for Best Flavor
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve and Enjoy
When ready to serve, transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs or a sprinkle of lemon zest. Pair with an assortment of fresh vegetables, gluten-free crackers, or toasted bread slices.
