This week’s recipe is an ode to innovation, problem-solving, and creativity. It’s a healthy take on an old standard, a new way of breathing life into a flavor profile with timeless allure: Ranch. Instead of sour cream or buttermilk, we use thick, creamy Greek yogurt. Instead of dried herbs, we go fresh: bright pops of color and flavor delivered in the tender leaves of dill, chives, and parsley.
dsc_0726Bring this dip out at your next football snacking extravaganza, and watch it disappear in short order. Pure protein, clean olive oil, vibrant flavor. The perfect way innovation on what is far too often an utterly unhealthy snacking extravaganza. Plus, it’s pretty darn empowering to stake your claim on a ranch dip of your own. The good-for-you is just a bonus.
