Ingredient Notes

- Ranch Seasoning – Use a homemade or store-bought ranch seasoning.
- Chives – these are optional but add flavor and color.
- Lemon juice – use freshly squeezed lemon juice. This is optional, but if your yogurt is not slightly sharp then you will need to add a little bit of sharpness.

Absolutely, you can. Add in some extra lemon juice and olive oil to loosen it.
Yes you can, but greek yogurt is much creamer and tangier. If using plain yogurt, you will need to add extra tang with some citrus.
