Why you’ll love this recipe

• Quick and simple—just three main ingredients and a few minutes to prepare.
• High in protein when made with Greek yogurt, with no refined sugar if you use honey or maple syrup.
• Bright, fresh key lime flavor that complements a variety of fruits and cookies.
• Flexible and easy to customize—swap citrus, adjust sweetness, or use dairy-free yogurt as needed.

Recipe ingredients

• Plain Greek yogurt. Full-fat Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture and a rich mouthfeel; low-fat or nonfat work if you prefer fewer calories.
• Key limes. Use fresh key lime zest and juice for the most authentic flavor. Regular limes, lemons or even orange can be substituted if needed.
• Honey. Adds gentle sweetness and rounds out the tartness. Maple syrup or powdered sugar can be used instead; avoid granulated sugar since it may not dissolve smoothly.
• Fresh fruit and graham crackers. For serving—berries, apple slices, banana, or any seasonal fruit are excellent choices.

How to make Greek yogurt dip

This Key Lime Greek Yogurt Dip comes together in minutes. A whisk and a bowl are all you need.

2. Combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey, key lime zest and fresh key lime juice in a medium bowl.
3. Whisk until fully combined and smooth, tasting and adjusting sweetness if desired.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with additional zest or thin lime slices, and serve with fresh fruit and graham crackers.
