Healthy Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip - Easy Ranch Dressing Recipe! (2024)

Ranch Dip Ingredients

Here is a quick list of what you’ll need so you can check your refrigerators and spice cabinet. The full amounts are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Plain Greek yogurt. You can use non fat, low fat, or whole milk yogurt depending on what works best for you.
• Apple cider vinegar. I like to use raw apple cider vinegar, but any that you have in your pantry will do.
• Olive oil. Or any other healthy oil like avocado oil.
• Dried herbs and spices. This includes parsley, dill, onion powder, and garlic powder.
• Salt and pepper.

How to Make It

Just stir everything together and keep it in the refrigerator until you need it. You can serve it right away, but it is best to give it a couple of hours to let the flavors fully develop.

This Ranch dip will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days, depending on how fresh the yogurt is.

Is Ranch dressing and Ranch dip the same?

Ranch dips tend to be thicker than salad dressing, and this one is also quite thick. If you want to use it as a salad dressing you could spoon it onto lettuce in a bowl and then toss it to coat the leaves before serving. You can also add a couple of tablespoons more of the vinegar or oil to thin it out so you can drizzle it over your salad.

Is Ranch dip healthy?

Many storebought Ranch dips contain preservatives and unhealthy oils leading them to be high in saturated fats. And those seasoning packets also have preservatives and other fillers to prevent them from caking.

Since this recipe is made with just Greek yogurt, oil, vinegar, dried herbs, and spices, it does not contain any of those things. Therefore, this is a healthy veggie dip.

Plus, by using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream, you are getting an extra dose of protein and probiotics too!

Is it gluten free? Low carb?

While this is not necessarily true of storebought Ranch, all of the ingredients in this Ranch recipe are gluten free and low carb. When it comes to the herbs and spices in the recipe, by using individual dried seasonings, you are avoiding seasoning packets that could contain gluten. Just be sure your brand does not add any gluten-containing fillers.

If you want to keep the fat and calories low, you can use nonfat or lowfat Greek yogurt. For a keto Ranch dip, stick with whole milk Greek yogurt.

Serving Suggestions

Of course, you can’t mention Ranch without bringing up Buffalo Wings. But there are so many things you can dip in this Ranch. It’s also great for drizzling on salads and so much more.

• Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls are a totally different way to get that spicy kick.
• Spoon it on top of Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes.
• BBQ Chicken Tostadas are surprising but taste great with a drizzle of Ranch.
• It’s great for dunking Air Fryer Pizza Rolls.
• And while I prefer Ketchup, some people like to dunk their French Fries or Onion Rings in Ranch.
