Herbs - Use fresh leaves of parsley and oregano to add a refreshing herbal aroma and flavor to this dip.
Garlic - Fresh garlic gives this dip its bold, authentic flavor, just like in traditional Haydari meze.
Yogurt - Use full-fat thick yogurt. It gives depth to the dip.
Mayonnaise - I used fat-free mayo to balance the calories, as there's butter in the recipe too, but you can use whichever mayo you like.
