Ingredients
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a small skillet over low heat. Add the olive oil and peeled garlic cloves.
Step 2
Sauté the garlic cloves, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden and slightly softened. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Finely mince or mash the sautéed garlic cloves into a paste. Add them to the bowl with the creamy mixture.
Step 5
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can grate in one raw garlic clove and mix it in.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of bread, crackers, or vegetables, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld further.
