Can I use any type of yogurt?

I used Greek yogurt because it's thicker than other yogurts. Skyr would work great, here, too, because it's thick. Use plain yogurt, not flavored.

Can I use different herbs?

Yes, feel free to change up the herbs if you'd like! I went with a pretty basic mix of parsley, cilantro, and dill, but you can omit any one of those or add a different herb in, like chives, if you'd like.

What's the best way to store this dip?

Store, covered, in the fridge, for up to 2 weeks. Note that if you plan to top with crispy roasted chickpeas, they won't keep well in the fridge (they get a little mushy). If you'd like, you can scrape 'em off before storing and enjoy them while they're still crispy!

Instructions

Add yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, and sea salt to a large bowl and stir until combined. Add most of the cilantro, parsley, and dill, reserving some to sprinkle overtop the dip (if desired), and stir the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with reserved herbs.
(Optional) To toast the chickpeas, pat them dry and spread out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Toss in 1 teaspoon olive oil and about 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Roast at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, until browned and crispy. Let cool to room temperature, then mound on top of the dip.
Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, and/or crackers. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
