Fresh Ranch Dip
Creamy yogurt served alongside salty chips and vegetables, like crisp Persian cucumber, never disappoints. In this superbly simple recipe, a tub of Greek yogurt is transformed into a delicious dip that’s loosely inspired by the dominant flavors of ranch dressing. Add a handful of fragrant dill and chives, brighten things up with a little lemon juice and lemon zest, and you have yourself a party for a crowd (or for one!). This dip can be made a day in advance and travels well if kept cool.

Add ½ teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and season with salt (about 1 teaspoon). Stir to combine and taste for seasoning.
