Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing
Ranch dressing and ranch dip are crowd favourites. What's not to love? It is tangy, herbal, creamy and dreamy! This recipe brings that big ranch flavour with a lot less chemicals and fat than your bottled version - about 40 calories/ tablespoon (or less if you use non-fat greek yogurt).
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, full fat (could use non-fat)
- 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Granulated sugar or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Water or milk to thin down if you want
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the water and salt.
- Stir together until well combined.
- Taste to determine if you want to add some salt or a little more sugar.
- Set aside in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer to allow the flavours to marry.
- Serve and enjoy, or thin down with a little water or milk to a consistency you need. I would just add a teaspoon of liquid at a time and stir it in.
Notes
- If you are in a rush you can serve this right away, but giving it 30 minutes to an hour allows the dried herbs to hydrate and all the flavours to meld together.
- If you have fresh herbs on hand you can use them in place for the dried herbs, just double the amounts.
- Feel free to add other herbs to your liking. This dressing would also be nice with dill.
- If you don't have any fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar can be a good stand-in.
