Keto Garlic Dill Yogurt Sauce
Cool, creamy, and bursting with garlic and dill, this keto yogurt sauce is the no-mayo dip your veggies have been waiting for. It’s thick, tangy, and made with full-fat Greek yogurt and fresh herbs for the perfect low-carb, high-protein base.
Use it as a dip, drizzle, or dressing. It’s just that good! Especially with grilled veggies, roasted meats, or even as a sauce for salmon.
Each serving has 39 calories, 2.3g net carbs, and 5.4g protein. No sour cream, no mayo, no fuss.
This yogurt dill sauce isn’t ranch, though I do love a good keto ranch too! My Keto Ranch Dressing with Greek Yogurt is creamier and made with parsley, chives, and onion powder. This one is lighter, sharper, and all about that fresh dill and garlic kick.

This sauce was super fresh and tangy with just the right dill kick. I drizzled it over grilled fish, worked great. Love that it’s made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo. A clean, quick option I’ll keep on repeat.
