1 serving (medium) of Yogurt with Dill (120 g) has 74 calories. That works out to 62 calories per 100 g. It contains 5 g of carbs, 4.3 g of protein, 3.6 g of fat and 0.4 g of fiber. Its 0.5 µg of B12 covers 23% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Yogurt with Dill is a simple dip or side made by stirring finely chopped fresh dill into thick, tangy yogurt. It fits naturally into Turkish and wider Mediterranean-style cooking, where yogurt is often served alongside savoury dishes or turned into a cool, herb-filled accompaniment.
The texture is smooth and creamy, with a refreshing, grassy note from the dill. Serve it with grilled vegetables or meat, roasted potatoes, or as part of a spread with bread and other small dishes. It provides some protein as well as carbohydrates; a 100 g portion contains 3.6 g of protein. For a lighter version, choose lower-fat yogurt, and add the dill shortly before serving to keep its fresh flavour pronounced.

Yogurt with dill is made by stirring finely chopped fresh dill into plain yogurt. Use thick or strained yogurt for a dip-like texture, and add salt, garlic, or lemon if you like. Chill it briefly before serving so the flavors mingle.
Yogurt with dill pairs well with grilled meat or fish, roasted vegetables, potatoes, and savory fritters. Serve it as a dip with flatbread or as a cool side sauce alongside a Mediterranean-style meal.
No, yogurt with dill is usually a simpler yogurt-and-dill mixture, while tzatziki typically includes cucumber and garlic. Dill can appear in tzatziki too, but the cucumber gives it a different flavor and texture.
Yes, dried dill works in yogurt with dill. Its flavor can be more concentrated than fresh dill, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Let the mixture sit briefly in the refrigerator before serving.
Yogurt with dill generally keeps for 2–3 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon each time and discard it if it develops an off smell, visible mold, or an unusual color.
Freezing yogurt with dill is not recommended. Thawed yogurt can separate and turn grainy, and the dill may lose its fresh flavor. Make only what you expect to use and keep leftovers chilled instead.
Yogurt with dill can turn watery when the yogurt releases whey or salt draws moisture from the ingredients. Start with thick yogurt, add salt shortly before serving, and keep the mixture refrigerated rather than leaving it out.
Thick plain yogurt works best for yogurt with dill because it keeps the mixture from becoming runny. Strained yogurt makes a particularly sturdy dip; if using regular yogurt, drain off excess liquid before mixing in the dill.
Yes, garlic is a common addition to yogurt with dill. A little finely grated or crushed garlic adds a savory kick that suits dips and grilled foods; leave it out for a milder, more herb-forward flavor.
Yes, you can make yogurt with dill a day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. The dill flavor will infuse the yogurt, though some liquid may separate; stir it before serving and adjust the texture if needed.
