Thick Greek yogurt is blended with harissa paste, lemon, and garlic for a creamy dip with a smoky, slow-building heat. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it a quick addition to a mezze spread, grain bowl, or vegetable platter. A drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs on top rounds out the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full-fat
  • 3 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil, extra-virgin, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, harissa paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt.

  2. Whisk until smooth and evenly colored, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  3. Taste and adjust with more harissa, lemon juice, or salt as needed.

  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped mint or parsley before serving.
