A creamy garlic and herb sauce you’ll want to dip everything in – fries, chicken, wraps, you name it!

This Creamy Garlic and Herb Dipping Sauce is the ultimate all-rounder – smooth, tangy and full of fresh flavour. It’s the perfect partner for Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders, golden fries or veggie sticks, and doubles as a quick dressing for salads or wraps. Made with Greek yoghurt, mayo, lemon, garlic and herbs, it’s creamy without being heavy – the kind of sauce that makes everything taste better. Best of all, it comes together in under 5 minutes with no fancy equipment required.

Creamy Garlic and Herb Dipping Sauce Ingredients
Everything you need for the perfect creamy dip – mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt, garlic, lemon, parsley, chives, salt and pepper. Simple ingredients that come together in minutes.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Fresh herbs always taste best, but if you only have dried, you can absolutely make it work. Use 1 teaspoon each of dried parsley and chives, then let the sauce sit for 30 minutes before serving so the herbs soften and the flavour develops.

A burst of fresh herbs and lemon keep this creamy sauce fresh and bright.

Can I make it lighter?

Yes! Swap half (or all) of the mayonnaise for extra Greek yoghurt. You’ll still get a creamy, tangy texture – just a little lighter and fresher. Low-fat yoghurt also works if you prefer it.

Basically, if it needs a creamy, garlicky boost, this sauce has you covered.
