SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE HEALTHY GREEK YOGURT RANCH DIP
You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this healthy dip (the exact measurements, nutritional information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):
- Plain greek yogurt
- Packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning – alternatively can make homemade ranch seasoning using garlic powder, onion powder, fresh herbs, kosher salt, black pepper, etc.
- Fresh dill
- Fresh veggies and crackers for dipping
HOW TO MAKE THE HEALTHY VEGGIE DIP
- Grab a mixing bowl and add the Greek yogurt. Then, sprinkle in the ranch seasoning packet and add the finely chopped fresh dill.
- Use a spoon to mix everything together until it’s well combined. Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Pop the dip in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This lets the flavors meld together and makes the dip nice and cold.
- Once chilled, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve it with your favorite dippers like carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell peppers, or even some whole-grain crackers.
STORING THE LEFTOVER HOMEMADE RANCH DIP
- Use an Airtight Container: Transfer the leftover dip into an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing any other flavors from the fridge.
- Refrigerate Promptly: Store the dip in the refrigerator as soon as possible. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
- Stir Before Serving: When you’re ready to enjoy the dip again, give it a good stir. The ingredients may separate slightly during storage, but a quick mix will restore its creamy texture.
- Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and consistency of the Greek yogurt, making it watery and less creamy.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS
- Adjust the Flavor: If you like your dip a bit more tangy, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For a creamier texture, you can mix in a bit of extra virgin olive oil or even a spoonful of light sour cream.
- Fresh Herbs: If you don’t have fresh dill, dried dill works too, but fresh really makes a difference. Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- Make Ahead: This dip is great to make ahead of time. It actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours, so the flavors really come together.
- Customize: Want a bit of heat? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. You can also mix in some grated parmesan cheese for an extra savory kick.
