Equipment
small bowl
whisk
food processor or blender
air tight container
Ingredients
1/2 cup (125 ml) plain Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tbsp finely chopped chives
2 tbsp (30 ml) finely chopped dill
2 tbsp (30 ml) white wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chives, dill, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Optional Blending: For a smoother consistency, blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
Chill for Flavor: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.
For Salad Dressing: If you’re using this as a salad dressing, thin it out by adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Tips
Greek Yogurt: If you prefer a richer texture, swap out Greek yogurt for sour cream or a mix of both.
Herbs: Fresh herbs make all the difference, but you can substitute dried dill and chives in a pinch—just reduce the quantity to 1/3 of what’s called for.
Customize Your Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne for heat, or swap white wine vinegar for buttermilk if you’re craving a tangier, classic buttermilk ranch flavor.
