Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl (1-quart)
- 1 Silicone Spatula
- 1 Measuring Spoon Set
- 1 Herb Scissors
- 1 Airtight Storage Container
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a touch of heat
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine the Base: Scoop the Greek yogurt into a medium-sized mixing bowl. This will serve as the creamy foundation of your dip, offering a rich, tangy flavor while keeping the recipe high in protein and low in fat.
- Add the Dry Seasonings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and kosher salt. These spices create the signature ranch flavor, transforming plain yogurt into a savory, well-balanced dip.
- Stir in the Flavor Boosters: Drizzle in the Worcestershire sauce and, if you enjoy a little spice, add the cayenne pepper. These ingredients add depth and a slight kick, making the dip more flavorful and exciting.
- Mix Until Smooth: Using a silicone spatula or spoon, stir everything together thoroughly until the seasonings are fully incorporated, and the mixture is creamy and uniform in texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle with fresh chopped chives, and serve immediately with crunchy vegetables, crackers, or as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
Notes
- Storage Tip: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving again as the seasonings may settle.
- Make It Spicier: Increase the cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce for a bolder, spicy version.
- Thicker or Thinner Texture: Use full-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess or whisk in 1–2 teaspoons of milk if you prefer a thinner dip.
- Serving Suggestions: Perfect for dipping fresh carrots, celery sticks, bell peppers, pita chips, or even as a lighter alternative to mayonnaise in sandwiches and wraps.
