A genuinely lighter alternative to mayo-based ranch, using Greek yogurt for protein and tang instead of fat.

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper

Steps

1. Combine yogurt base — Whisk yogurt, milk, and lemon juice together until smooth.
2. Add herbs and seasoning — Stir in dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Chill briefly — Refrigerate at least 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: Noticeably thicker than mayo-based ranch straight from the fridge — the milk is your adjustment knob for pourability.
