Description
A tangy, creamy dressing that brightens salads and stands up to crunchy vegetables with fewer calories and more protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (about 240 g; plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 30 ml)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning; use buttermilk for extra tang)
Instructions
- Place the Greek yogurt in a medium bowl.
- Add the ranch seasoning mix and minced garlic.
- Stir in the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.
- Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- If you want a thinner consistency, whisk in 1 tablespoon of milk. Add the second tablespoon only if still too thick.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
Notes
Letting the dressing rest enhances the flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days.
