Method: Creamy Scallion and Yogurt Dip
- Gather your ingredients and prep all items for a smooth process.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the yogurt mixture along with the paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Chop the parsley leaves and add them to the dip. Mix thoroughly to blend the herbs into the yogurt base.
- Take the chopped scallions, reserving a small portion for garnish. Fold the remaining scallions into the dip evenly.

Notes
- Use regular plain yogurt if Greek yogurt is unavailable, but expect a less creamy texture.
- Lime juice can substitute lemon juice for a different citrus flavor.
- Fresh dill or cilantro can be used instead of parsley for an herb variation.
- Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; flavors improve after chilling.
- Avoid freezing as yogurt texture changes; best served cold or at room temperature.
