  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 pinch sugar optional, for balance

Equipment

  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add the dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice (or white vinegar), and salt. Crack in some fresh black pepper to taste.
  3. If using, add the minced chives and a pinch of sugar to round out the flavors.
  4. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are perfectly combined.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed - add more lemon juice for tang or salt to enhance flavors.
  6. Cover the dip and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the dried herbs to rehydrate and flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, give the dip a final stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Optionally garnish with additional herbs for presentation.

Notes

If the dip is too thick, thin it with a spoonful of milk or buttermilk until it reaches your desired consistency. To transform this into a pourable ranch dressing, whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk.
For a dairy-free version, substitute thick unsweetened plant yogurt and vegan mayonnaise, though you may need to adjust seasonings for optimal flavor.
This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If any separation occurs, simply stir before serving.
