Substitutions & Variations

• Ranch Powder Option: Have powdered ranch dressing you want to use to make this dressing? Simply omit the garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and pepper from this recipe and use 2-3 teaspoons of dried ranch powder instead.
• Greek Yogurt Swap: We used non-fat Greek yogurt for this recipe, but 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt will also work. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use whipped cottage cheese instead!
• Lemon Juice Swap: If needed, you can replace the lemon juice with lime juice or apple cider vinegar.
• Dill Options: Both fresh and dried dill work well in this recipe. Use dried dill for a classic flavor, or swap in fresh dill for a brighter, more vibrant taste. Use about one teaspoon of fresh dill.
• Add Chives: For extra flavor and texture, add one tablespoon of chopped chives to the dressing.
• Dairy-Free Option: To make this ranch dressing dairy-free and vegan, use your favorite plain dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk.

How To Make Healthy Ranch Dressing With Greek Yogurt

Step 2: Thoroughly mix until the dressing is smooth and combined.

Serving Suggestions

It’s perfect drizzled over salads, as a dip for fresh veggies, or spread on sandwiches and wraps for extra creaminess. We like to mix it with our smoky BBQ sauce or cherry chipotle BBQ sauce to create a delicious BBQ ranch dressing for a BBQ chicken salad. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for air fryer chicken tenders, baked fries, onion rings, or sweet potato wedges.

For another option, drizzle it over grain bowls, use it to dress a classic Cobb salad, or serve it alongside our protein pizza for dipping the crust. It’s also great drizzled over a salad with slow cooker buffalo chicken or used as a creamy topping for air fryer roasted potatoes.

Storage Instructions

You can store leftover homemade ranch dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Give it a good stir before serving, and add a splash of milk if needed to bring it back to the perfect consistency.
