Yogurt dips can be made as dips for vegetables or fruits - it's just a matter of the added ingredients. This yogurt dip recipe is the perfect accompaniment to fresh vegetables. It includes lemon juice and lemon zest which add a distinctive freshness to its flavor. The lemon zest offers fairly potent lemon flavor, so if you enjoy a more mild lemon flavor, you can simply omit the lemon zest or reduce it to your own liking.
