The other day Alex and I had some neighbors over for drinks on the patio. In the midst of the conversation, one of them confessed: “I have an unhealthy obsession with ranch dip.” It led to an entire conversation about the stuff, but truly: ranch dip has a pretty widespread appeal. The conversation go us to thinking: could one have a healthy obsession with ranch dip? Meet this Greek yogurt dip, a chip dip that’s full of flavor and pretty darn good for you, too.

  1. Just bought a large container of plain greek yogurt today, so am really glad to see this! I’ve been eating it straight up with pretzels, maybe a drizzle of honey now and again, and it is so good. A great alternative to sour cream for any sour cream junkies out there (myself included!).
