This is our all-time favorite dip for veggie trays. This can be used year-round is the perfect addition to any charcuterie board, veggie tray or school lunch. We like to buy little condiment containers and fill them with ranch dip. It makes school lunches so much easier and I love them becuase my kids eat way more veggies when they have a yummy dip to eat them with.
