Step-by-step
Grown-up steps
- Spoon the yogurt into a medium-size bowl. Add the vinegar and milk to the bowl. Stir with a spoon or a small whisk.
- Snip the parsley and dill with the kitchen scissors. Cut only the leaves — not the stems. Measure 1 tablespoon of each. Stir the herbs into the yogurt dip.
- Peel the garlic clove. Squeeze the handle over the bowl of yogurt and press out a little garlic. Stir well. You can add more garlic to taste.
- Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir it up and give it a taste test. Does it need more salt or pepper? Add a pinch more!
- Serve the dip with veggies on the side. Then cover the rest of the dip and refrigerate overnight. This will bring the flavors together even more!
