This scrumptious Everything Bagel dip crafted with Greek yogurt is ideal for gatherings and entertaining or just casual snacking! Everyone adores this simple appetizer recipe and it takes merely 5 minutes to prepare.
I’ve always been an enormous admirer of Everything Bagel seasoning – I mean, who isn’t? Just the other day, I was pondering inventive uses for the seasoning and thought, why not transform it into a quick and simple dip?
I’m fond of our Greek yogurt-based ranch dip, so I created a variation using Greek yogurt instead. The Greek yogurt provides an incredible creamy foundation with a slight tang that truly enhances the savory everything bagel notes. The blend of Greek yogurt and a hint of mayonnaise gives you all the creaminess you desire without the heaviness. Additionally, you’re getting a substantial dose of protein – something most dips definitely can’t boast!
Pro tips for Everything Bagel dip
A few months back, I brought this everything bagel dip as a last-minute snack for my book club and everyone thrilled about it! My friend even asked me to text her the recipe before she left my place. What makes this dip special is that it’s lighter than your usual cream cheese or sour cream-based dips. I utilize Greek yogurt as the foundation, which provides that same creamy, tangy richness with more protein and fewer calories. Here are a few tips:
– Seasoning blend: The essence of this dip truly lies in the seasoning blend. Sometimes I whip up my own homemade everything bagel seasoning, but store-bought works just as well. The magic occurs when you mix it with onion powder and garlic powder for added depth.
– Chill time: While I generally consume this dip immediately, I’ve discovered that allowing it to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving does make a difference. This gives all those dried spices time to meld together, resulting in a much more harmonious flavor.
– Garnish: Always reserve a bit of extra everything bagel seasoning to sprinkle on top right before serving. It adds a lovely visual touch and gives you bursts of sesame and poppy seeds with every bite.
Pairings and serving ideas
This dip is remarkably versatile, which is a big part of why I cherish it so much. For dipping, I enjoy serving it with:
– Fresh cut vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber slices
– Toasted baguette slices or homemade crostini
– Crackers (I fancy these homemade crackers if I have the time)
– Pretzel chips for extra crunch
It would also be wonderful as:
For entertaining, I relish serving this alongside other effortless appetizers like my classic hummus recipe or Greek yogurt veggie dip. It creates a delightful variety without demanding extensive preparation.
Storage and make ahead tips
This everything bagel dip stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. I actually believe it tastes even better after a day or two since the flavors keep developing.
You can prepare this dip up to 2 days in advance, which makes it perfect for gatherings. Just give it a quick stir before serving and add that final sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top for the freshest appearance.
If you’re presenting this at a party, consider placing it in a shallow bowl instead of a deep one. It simplifies the dipping process for guests without causing a mess, and you can create a nicer presentation with that final garnish of everything bagel seasoning.
Dietary notes
This everything bagel dip is vegetarian and gluten-free. For a vegan option, swap in vegan coconut yogurt and vegan mayonnaise.
