Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

An assortment of fresh vegetables or crispy chips for serving

Instructions
 

Combine Base Ingredients: Start by placing the plain Greek yogurt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise to the bowl. Using a whisk or a spatula, blend both ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and smooth without any lumps.

    Add Flavorings: Introduce the apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard into the yogurt mixture. Stir well to incorporate these ingredients, as they will infuse the dip with a delightful tanginess that complements the creaminess.

      Incorporate Spices: Carefully sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until you achieve a homogenous and creamy dip consistency; taste as you go to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

        Taste Test: Take a small taste of the dip and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. If you desire a more pronounced flavor profile, don’t hesitate to add more herbs or spices to suit your palate.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, or transfer the dip into an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling process allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a richer dip.

            Serve: Just before you’re ready to enjoy, sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives on top for an added touch of freshness and color. Serve the creamy ranch dip alongside an array of crunchy fresh veggies like carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers, or pair it with your favorite chips for a delightful snack.
