I first had this dip at a party a few years ago, and I've been making it ever since. It's always a hit, and it's so easy to make. I love the bright and tangy flavor, and it's the perfect dip for a summer party.I've experimented with different variations of this dip over the years, and I've found that the best results come from using Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has a thicker consistency than regular yogurt, which gives the dip a creamier texture. I also like to add a little bit of sour cream to the dip to give it a little bit of extra tanginess.I've also found that the best way to get the most flavor out of the lemon is to zest the lemon before juicing it. Zesting the lemon removes the flavorful oils from the peel, which gives the dip a more intense lemon flavor.I like to serve this dip with pita chips, but it's also good with vegetables or crackers.
