Mango Chutney Lime Mayo Dip with Greek Yoghurt
Greek style yogurt, mayonnaise, mango chutney and lime come together in a creamy dip that feels fruity, tangy and barbecue-friendly. It works especially well with chicken, pork, flatbreads and spicy dishes when the table needs a sweeter but still fresh contrast.
Ingredients
- 120 g Greek style yogurt
- 80 g Hellmann’s mayonnaise
- 70 g mango chutney
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp finely grated lime zest
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander optional
- ¼ tsp Maldon sea salt crushed
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional finish
- extra lime zest
- a few chopped chives
- 1 tsp finely chopped mango chutney on top
Instructions
Combine the creamy base
- Add the Greek style yogurt and Hellmann’s mayonnaise to a bowl. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Add the mango chutney
- Stir in the mango chutney, lime juice, lime zest and apple cider vinegar. Mix until evenly combined, leaving some small fruit pieces for texture if you like.
Season the dip
- Add the crushed Maldon sea salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust with a tiny bit more lime juice if the chutney is very sweet.
Add the herbs
- Fold in the chopped chives and coriander, if using. The chives give gentle freshness, while coriander pulls the dip in a brighter direction.
Chill briefly
- Cover and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. This firms the texture slightly and gives the fruit, dairy and lime time to come together.
Finish and serve
- Spoon into a serving bowl and top with a few extra chives, a little lime zest and a tiny spoonful of chopped mango chutney if you want a bit of colour on top.
Notes
Mango chutney can vary a lot in sweetness, chunkiness and spice. Some are thick and jammy, others are looser and sharper with more vinegar. I usually give it a quick chop if the fruit pieces are very large, because I want the dip to stay scoopable rather than lumpy. A good chutney should bring fruit, spice and a little tang all at once.
Greek style yogurt is what keeps this from drifting into sandwich spread territory. It brings a clean tang that balances the chutney and makes the dip feel fresher with barbecue food. Hellmann’s mayonnaise gives it body and a smoother finish. Lime zest matters here because the fragrance cuts through the sweetness more effectively than juice alone.
