Common Substitutions & PRO Tips for the perfect Veggie and Cheese Board

  • Yogurt: Can’t find low-fat plain yogurt? Use any plain yogurt, but adjust the thickness with a little milk if it’s too thick.
  • Herbs: No fresh herbs? Dried herbs work in a pinch; use 1/3 the amount.
  • PRO Tip: For an extra touch of creativity, use cookie cutters to shape the cheese into Easter-themed designs like eggs or flowers.
  • PRO Tip: Keep the veggies fresh and crisp by preparing them close to serving time, and consider using a spritz of water to keep them lively.

How to prepare Yogurt Ranch Dip

In a mixing bowl, combine all dip ingredients. Whisk by hand until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

How to create Veggie And Cheese Board
