Description
A creamy and tangy ranch dressing made with Greek yogurt, offering fewer calories and more protein than traditional ranch dressings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain; 2% or whole)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or white vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove fresh garlic, minced)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (or 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh onion or chives)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Water, milk, or buttermilk to adjust consistency (start with 1–2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Place Greek yogurt in a medium bowl.
- Add lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and dried parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add 1 tablespoon water or milk and whisk. Add more, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Cover and chill at least 15–30 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve cold.
Notes
For a thinner ranch, replace water with buttermilk or whole milk. To make it vegan, use dairy-free yogurt and substitute vinegar.
