Greek yogurt makes a thick, tangy base for ranch-style dip without needing a long ingredient list. Dill, parsley, garlic, onion and lemon give it the familiar herby flavor, while a splash of milk or water lets you choose between a spoonable dip and a thinner dressing.

The flavor improves after a short rest in the refrigerator because the dried herbs have time to hydrate. Taste again before serving and adjust the lemon, salt or herbs rather than relying only on the first mix.
