Ingredients

Scale
  • Carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • Celery stalks, cleaned and sliced into sticks
  • Cucumber, peeled if preferred, sliced into sticks
  • Bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), seeded and sliced into strips
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold water. Peel carrots and cucumber if preferred.
  2. Cut all veggies into sticks roughly 3-4 inches long and about half an inch thick. Place on a platter or shallow bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine ½ cup plain Greek yogurt and ¼ cup mayonnaise. Stir until smooth.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  5. If using, fold in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions.
  6. Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Keep veggie sticks chilled as well.
  7. Serve the veggie sticks with the creamy ranch dip and enjoy.

Notes

If dip is too thick, thin with a teaspoon or two of milk or water. Prep dip ahead and refrigerate for better flavor. Store veggie sticks wrapped in paper towels in an airtight container to keep crisp.
