Variation 1 Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Variation 2 Toppings

  • 1/4 cup blistered tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons kalamata olive tapenade
  • 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon za'atar

Variation 3 Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chickpeas

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons harissa
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Serving

  • Naan or pita bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yogurt Base: Spread the plain Greek yogurt evenly in a shallow bowl to create a creamy foundation for your toppings.
  2. Add Toppings: Choose one of the suggested topping combinations: either cucumbers with pickled onions and dill, blistered tomatoes with olive tapenade and pine nuts, or chickpeas with pistachios and harissa. Arrange your selected toppings over the yogurt, drizzling extra virgin olive oil and sprinkling seasoning as indicated.
  3. Serve: Serve the savory Greek yogurt dish immediately, accompanied by warm naan or pita bread if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Blistered tomatoes can be made by quickly sautéing cherry tomatoes in a hot pan until their skins are charred.
  • Pickled red onions add a tangy contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of harissa according to your spice preference.
  • This recipe is highly customizable – feel free to mix and match toppings based on what you have available.
