Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt see note 2
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk add more as desired; see note 3
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill see note 4
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley see note 4
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives see note 4
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons buttermilk, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon onion powder, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried chives, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Serve as a dip or toss with salad.  Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Pro Tip: For the best flavor, make the ranch at least 1–2 hours ahead (or even the night before). This gives the dried herbs time to rehydrate and the flavors to meld, resulting in a creamier, more flavorful dressing.
  2. Use whole milk plain Greek yogurt for the richest texture and flavor. Use low fat as desired.
  3. Start with 3 tablespoons buttermilk for a thicker dip and add up to 3 tablespoons more to achieve the appropriate drizzling consistency for salads.
  4. Dried herbs give this Greek yogurt ranch the classic ranch flavor. The dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor than fresh, and infuse the dressing with flavor the longer it sits in the fridge.
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
