Greek Yogurt Ranch

This Greek yogurt ranch is a lighter, higher-protein take on the classic — tangy yogurt in place of most of the mayo, loaded with fresh dill, chives, and garlic. It has all the creamy, herby comfort of ranch with far less fat and a genuine hit of protein, so you can pour it freely. Use it as a dressing, a dip for crudités and wings, or a sauce for grain bowls and grilled chicken.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the base

    Whisk the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and buttermilk until smooth.

  2. Add aromatics

    Stir in the dill, chives, parsley, grated garlic, and lemon juice.

  3. Season

    Add salt and pepper to taste, and thin with a little more buttermilk if needed.

  4. Chill

    Rest in the fridge at least 15 minutes so the flavors meld before serving.

Try this drizzled over our grilled chicken avocado salad or any of our green salads. For more, see our Homemade Salad Dressing Ratios guide and our Lemon Vinaigrette.

The MakeSalads secretLet ranch rest in the fridge before serving — the garlic and dried-out herbs need time to bloom, and it tastes noticeably better after fifteen minutes.
