Easy Healthy Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing (Print version)

A creamy Greek yogurt ranch dressing made with herbs, lemon, and pantry spices in about 10 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the dressing

01 - 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt, 2 percent or whole milk preferred
02 - 2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk or cold water, plus more as needed
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon dried dill
06 - 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or parsley
09 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/4 teaspoon honey or sugar, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Add the Greek yogurt to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and creamy.
02 - Whisk in the buttermilk or water, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar until no streaks remain.
03 - Stir in the dill, garlic powder, onion powder, chives or parsley, salt, pepper, and optional honey or sugar.
04 - For a dip, leave the dressing thick. For a pourable salad dressing, whisk in cold water 1 teaspoon at a time until it drizzles easily.
05 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes if possible. Stir, taste, and adjust salt or lemon before serving.

# Good to know:

01 - Makes about 1 1/4 cups, or 10 servings of 2 tablespoons each.
02 - The flavor improves after 15 minutes because the dried herbs soften in the yogurt.
03 - Use within 5 days and keep refrigerated.
