Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons water or milk (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Base
Start by placing one cup of plain Greek yogurt into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a spoon to give it a quick stir to ensure the texture is smooth and free of any lumps before adding the seasonings. - Step 2: Add the Herbs and Spices
Measure out the dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle them evenly over the yogurt. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to provide that essential ranch tanginess. - Step 3: Combine and Whisk
Using a whisk or a spoon, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Make sure the spices are well-distributed so every bite is packed with flavor. If you are using fresh chives, fold them in gently at this stage. - Step 4: Adjust the Consistency
Depending on your preference, the dip may be too thick. If you want a thinner “dressing” style consistency, add a tablespoon of water or milk and stir. Continue adding liquid half a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired thickness. - Step 5: Chill and Serve
While you can eat this immediately, it is best to let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the dried herbs to hydrate and the flavors to fully meld together. Serve cold and enjoy!
