Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (choose either whole or low-fat based on preference)

1/4 cup mayonnaise (for added creaminess)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (adds a tangy flavor)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (for a hint of garlic)

1 teaspoon onion powder (adds depth)

1 teaspoon dried dill weed (for a fresh herb flavor)

1 teaspoon dried parsley (for color and taste)

1/2 teaspoon dried chives (or substitute with 1 tablespoon fresh, finely chopped)

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust according to your taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust according to your taste)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Fresh veggies (carrots, celery, bell peppers, etc.) for dipping

Instructions

Begin by taking a medium mixing bowl and adding the plain Greek yogurt along with the mayonnaise. Using a whisk or spatula, blend the two ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir until thoroughly combined, which will enhance the dip’s tanginess.

Next, sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, dried parsley, dried chives (or fresh if using), salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you prefer a bit of heat).

Mix all the components vigorously until everything is well-combined, creamy, and flavorful. Taste the dip, and feel free to adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or any other spices according to your preference.

Once combined, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

When ready to serve, take the dip out of the fridge and present it chilled with an assortment of fresh veggies on the side for dipping. Savor your zesty Greek yogurt ranch dip!
