This delicious Everything Bagel dip made with Greek yogurt is perfect for parties and entertaining or simple snacking! Everyone loves this easy appetizer recipe and it takes only 5 minutes to mix up.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Everything Bagel seasoning (I mean, who isn’t?). The other day I was thinking of creative uses for the seasoning and thought, why not turn it into a quick and easy dip?
I love my Greek yogurt-based ranch dip, so I made a variation using Greek yogurt instead. The yogurt makes an amazing creamy base with a slight tang, plus you get a nice dose of protein. I recently made this recipe as a last-minute book club snack and everyone raved! My friend actually asked me to text her the recipe before she even left my house. Here’s how to make this healthy dip!

What You’ll Need
What makes this recipe nice is that it’s a healthy dip that’s lighter than your typical cream cheese or sour cream-based dips. I use Greek yogurt as the base, which gives it that same creamy, tangy richness with more protein and fewer calories. Here are a few tips:
- Full-fat Greek yogurt: This is the foundation, and full-fat gives it a creamy texture (low fat is not nearly as delicious).
- Mayonnaise: Just a bit pulls the whole thing together and adds the richness you’d expect from a party dip. It also helps the dip cling to veggies!
- Everything Bagel seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder: Sometimes I use my homemade everything bagel seasoning, but store-bought works perfectly too. The magic happens when you combine it with onion powder and garlic powder for extra depth.
- Salt and pepper: Season to taste, keeping in mind the everything bagel seasoning already brings some saltiness to the party.
Pro Tips for Everything Bagel Dip
- Use the chill time: While I typically eat this dip right away, I’ve found that letting the dip sit for at least 30 minutes before serving does make a difference. This gives all those dried spices time to meld together, creating a much more cohesive flavor.
- Taste before salting. Different brands of Everything Bagel seasoning vary in saltiness. After chilling, taste and then decide if you need that full ¾ teaspoon of salt or something closer to ½.
- Save a little extra for garnish: Always save a little extra everything bagel seasoning to sprinkle on top right before serving. It adds a nice visual element and gives you pops of sesame and poppy seeds with every bite.
Pairings and Serving Ideas
This dip is incredibly versatile, which is part of why I love it so much. For dipping, I like to serve it with:
- Fresh cut vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber slices
- Toasted baguette slices or homemade crostini
- Crackers (I like these homemade crackers if I have time)
- Pretzel chips for extra crunch
It would also be great as:
- A spread for sandwiches and wraps
- A topping for baked sweet potatoes
- A dollop on top of grain bowls
For entertaining, I love serving this alongside other easy appetizers like my classic hummus recipe or Greek yogurt veggie dip. It creates a nice variety without requiring tons of prep work.
Storage and Make Ahead Tips
This everything bagel dip keeps in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. I actually think it tastes better after a day or two because the flavors continue to develop.
You can make this dip up to 2 days in advance, which makes it ideal for parties. Just give it a quick stir before serving and add that final sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning on top for the freshest look.
If you’re serving this at a party, consider putting it in a shallow bowl rather than a deep one. It makes it easier for guests to dip without making a mess, and you can create a nicer presentation with that final garnish of everything bagel seasoning.
Dietary Notes
This everything bagel dip is vegetarian and gluten-free. For vegan, substitute vegan coconut yogurt and vegan mayonnaise.
