Strained yogurt with pickles is made by folding finely chopped pickles into thick, plain strained yogurt. Start with drained cucumber pickles, then add herbs or garlic if you like. Chill it briefly so the flavors blend, and stir before serving.
Cucumber pickles are the usual choice for strained yogurt with pickles because they add a crisp, tangy bite without overwhelming the yogurt. Chopped dill pickles or cornichons work well; use stronger pickled vegetables sparingly so their flavor does not dominate.
Yes, garlic and dill both work well in strained yogurt with pickles. Minced fresh dill makes it taste brighter, while a little crushed garlic gives it a savory dip-like flavor. Add gradually, since the pickles already bring plenty of punch.
Serve strained yogurt with pickles as a cold dip or meze alongside grilled meat, kebabs, roasted vegetables, or crisp bread. It also works as a sandwich spread. Keep it chilled until serving, especially when it is set out with other dips.
Keep strained yogurt with pickles covered in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Use a clean spoon each time and do not leave it at room temperature for an extended period. Discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a changed appearance.
Strained yogurt with pickles can turn watery because chopped pickles release brine and yogurt may separate as it sits. Stir it before serving, or drain off excess liquid. For a thicker dip, add a little more strained yogurt rather than extra pickle brine.
Usually, strained yogurt with pickles does not need extra salt because the pickles and their brine are already salty. Mix the dip first and taste it; if needed, add only a small pinch. Adding pickle juice can make it saltier and thinner.
Freezing strained yogurt with pickles is not recommended. Thawed yogurt can become grainy and watery, and the pickles lose their crisp texture. Make a fresh batch for the best consistency, and keep any leftovers refrigerated instead.
Yes, strained yogurt with pickles can be made ahead and chilled so its flavors meld. For the crunchiest result, stir in the chopped pickles shortly before serving; otherwise, they may soften as they sit in the yogurt.
To make strained yogurt with pickles less salty, use drained pickles rather than adding their brine, and avoid adding salt. You can also increase the amount of plain strained yogurt to soften the salty, tangy taste without masking the pickle flavor.

Strained yogurt with pickles combines thick, tangy yogurt with finely chopped pickled vegetables. It is an easy dip rather than a single fixed recipe: the type and amount of pickle can vary, and cucumber pickles are a common choice. The cool, creamy yogurt contrasts with the pickles’ sharp acidity and crunch. Serve it as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables, or alongside grilled food and other small plates. It is a protein-rich yogurt dish, though the pickles can make it quite salty. For a milder, less salty version, rinse and drain the pickles before mixing them in; a spoonful of plain yogurt can also soften the flavour and loosen the texture.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
