Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional for added creaminess)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 teaspoon dried parsley

½ teaspoon dried chives

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a touch of heat)

Assorted sliced vegetables (such as carrots, celery, bell peppers) or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions
 

Combine the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, start by adding the plain Greek yogurt. If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in the mayonnaise. Use a whisk or spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and velvety.

    Mix in the Vinegar: Pour the apple cider vinegar into the yogurt mixture. This ingredient adds a delightful tang that perfectly complements the fresh herbs.

      Add Spices: Now it’s time to enhance the flavor! Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill weed, dried parsley, dried chives, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you like a little kick). Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is well-seasoned.

        Taste and Adjust: Before moving on, sample your dip. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference, perhaps adding a bit more salt or a dash of herbs if desired, to achieve the perfect flavor.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and develop, enhancing the overall taste.

            Serve: Once chilled, take the dip out of the refrigerator and give it a light stir. Serve it in a serving bowl alongside a colorful array of sliced vegetables or a bowl of crispy tortilla chips.
