# Top Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes and tastes like you spent an hour making it.
  • The Greek yogurt keeps it light and tangy without sacrificing any of that creamy ranch flavor.
  • Fresh herbs make every bite feel bright and alive, not dusty or artificial.
  • You can tweak the seasonings to match exactly what you love.
02 -
  • Fresh herbs are worth it here. Dried herbs work, but the flavor won't be as lively or green.
  • Don't skip the chilling time. The dip tastes okay immediately, but it becomes something special after it sits.
  • If you're using fat-free yogurt, the texture will be thinner and less rich. Add an extra tablespoon of mayo to compensate.
03 -
  • Chop your herbs as finely as possible so they distribute evenly and don't clump.
  • Taste the dip after it chills. Cold mutes flavors slightly, so you may want to add a pinch more salt or lemon.
  • Use whole or 2% Greek yogurt for the creamiest, most luxurious texture.
