If you’ve followed my blog or social media for any time at all, you’ll know that we are BIG fans of ranch dressing – store bought or homemade. It is by far my favorite “vehicle food” that I have used over the years to help introduce the girls to vegetables. Because who doesn’t love to dip!

During the summer – if I haven’t killed all of my fresh herbs – I love to keep this super simple ranch dip on-hand for veggie, pizza, chips, chicken fingers, wings…pretty much anything that becomes better when ranch is added! It uses mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt for a base then stirs in fresh parsley, dill, chives and garlic and lemon juice.

As written, the recipe yields a thicker, more “dip-like” consistency. However, if you prefer a thinner “dressing” for salad, simply stir milk or buttermilk into the recipe 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired texture. 

This dip is so good, you’ll want to keep a container in your refrigerator year-round!
