Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip (Printable)

Smooth blend of Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon zest for a refreshing fruit accompaniment.

# What You 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

# 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 the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
03 - Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld; this step is optional but recommended.
04 - Serve chilled alongside assorted fresh fruit such as strawberries, apple slices, grapes, pineapple, or melon.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in five minutes, which means you can make it while guests are on their way.
  • The tang and sweetness balance so perfectly that people keep dipping even when they think they're done.
  • Greek yogurt means you get actual protein instead of feeling guilty about snacking.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chilling step if you want the flavors to actually come together; cold yogurt and warm honey need time to find each other.
  • Fresh lemon zest matters more than the juice—that's where the real brightness lives, so use a microplane and don't hold back.
03 -
  • Zest your lemon before juicing it—once you cut into the lemon, the zest becomes harder to remove cleanly.
  • Whisk longer than you think you need to; the honey and yogurt need a full moment to become one unified mixture, not two things stirred together.
