Homemade Ranch Dip

I have always loved ranch dip and dressing. I know it's not everyone's favorite, but I think it's a great way to eat some veggies. I decided to make a ranch dip from scratch and see if I'd still be a fan. The recipe below makes for a great, flavorful dip. Serve it with your favorite veggies for a quick and easy appetizer. You can use Greek yogurt, or you can use regular plain yogurt. If you use regular yogurt, line a strainer with a few paper towels or a cheesecloth and let the yogurt strain in there for about 2 hours before using. You can place the strained over a lipped dish or bowl and let it strain in the fridge. Use about 3/4 cup when doing this and it will loose some volume.

Recipe adapted from Bare Feet in the Kitchen

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion power (you can sub 1/2 teaspoon onion salt and omit the salt listed below)
1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1-3 teaspoons lemon juice (start with one and see if you want a bit more tang)

In a bowl, thoroughly mix all of the ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be stored for up to one week in your fridge. Pin It Now!
