DIY Ranch Dressing Dip

Why is it that we put off doing the simplest things — like finally writing down this easy recipe? "I'll write it tomorrow," I'd say. Then another day would pass. "OK, tomorrow." And another. "No, really, I'll write it tomorrow." Finally, a month went by and "tomorrow" is today! This version of ranch dressing dip is made with fat-free Greek yogurt. It's the perfect "stealth health" alternative to the high-fat, calorie-laden ranch dips you'd find in a veggie tray or shelf-stable dip. But, I promise this is just as satisfying as any ranch dip while being budget-friendly and completely free of anything artificial.
