Savoury Herb
Savoury herb yoghurt is plain yoghurt blended with herbs, garlic, pepper, or spice mixes for ready dips and meal sides—dill, mint, chives, za’atar-adjacent blends, or cucumber-herb cups. Sugar is absent or minimal; salt is common. Spoon onto grilled meats, vegetables, and flatbreads; use as a quick sandwich spread. Homemade versions from plain yoghurt plus herbs taste fresher than many long-life flavoured pots. Keep cold and use soon once herbs are mixed, as water and aromatics shorten peak quality.
