Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing

This is the ranch dressing I keep coming back to time and time again because it is just that good. It comes together in just a few minutes, uses ingredients I usually already have, and tastes so fresh without trying too hard. The Greek yogurt keeps it a little lighter than classic ranch, but it’s still creamy and full of flavor.

Main Ingredients & Swaps

• Mayo: This gives the dressing richness and that familiar ranch base. Use whatever mayo you normally buy, or use my Easy 1-Minute Homemade Mayo!
• Greek yogurt: Adds tang and body and keeps the dressing a little lighter than traditional ranch without losing creaminess.
• Milk: Helps thin the dressing so it’s easy to drizzle or toss. Add more or less depending on how you plan to use it. Any milk here will do.
• Garlic: I highly suggest using freshly grated garlic here, it just adds so much flavor. Obviously not everyone has time to grate garlic though, so garlic powder will work here in a pinch.
• Onion powder: Gives that classic ranch taste without raw onion.
• Dill: Fresh is always better and this is key for an authentic ranch flavor, however dried dill can work here as well.
• Chives: Again, fresh is always better but dried chives work just fine.
• Parmesan: For an extra pop of flavor, finely grated is best for this!
• Apple cider vinegar: Adds brightness and keeps the dressing from tasting flat. You can also sub this out for white vinegar if that is all you have.
• Honey: Just a touch balances the tang from the yogurt and vinegar.
• Worcestershire sauce: Adds a subtle savory depth that ties everything together.

Tips & Tricks

• Use it more than once: This works as a dressing, dip, or sauce, not just for salads.
• Grate the garlic: Grated garlic blends better than minced and keeps the dressing smooth.
• Add milk slowly: It’s easier to thin than to fix a dressing that’s too runny.
• Let it rest: The flavor gets even better after a little time in the fridge.
• Fresh herbs: Use fresh herbs when possible to really punch up the flavor!
