No pre-packaged ranch spices needed here! This relatively healthy vegetarian dip is a snack everyone will love – and it takes just 5 minutes to make.

Ingredients for this vegetable dip recipe

This veggie dip recipe tastes like you’d expect from a veggie platter – only better! Something about the combination of spices here makes it utterly irresistible: and they’re probably spices you already have on hand. The other trick? Mix together Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for a creamy but not too rich dip. (We use this idea in our Caesar dressing, spinach artichoke dip, etc.) Here’s what you’ll need for this veggie dip:

• greek yogurt
• mayonnaise
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• Dried dill
• Kosher salt
• Chopped fresh chives or green onions
• Freshly ground black pepper

All you have to do? Mix them up and serve. It is so easy! Don’t have any chives or spring onions? It’s just as delicious without: however, we recommend the fresh element to nuance the flavor.

Variations: Add chilli powder and more

Want to add even more flavor to this veggie dip? Adding ¼ teaspoon of chili powder adds complexity without extra effort. Remember: this will make the color of the dip a little more orange! Here are a few more additions to vary this vegetable dip:

• chilli powder (¼ to ½ teaspoon)
• smoked paprika (¼ to ½ teaspoon)
• Ancho Chili Powder (a pinch or two)
• Dried tarragon (½ teaspoon)
