This delicious Greek yogurt ranch dip is a quick way to enjoy a ranch-inspired dressing. It goes great with raw veggies or atop a fresh salad!
This is my favorite quick ranch dip to whip up for crudite or to drizzle on a bed of greens. Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and fresh herbs combine to make this easy dip!
This Greek yogurt ranch dip is the perfect accompaniment to a lunch or dinner salad, and my daughter even likes to dip her pizza in it!
Raw carrots, cucumber slices, celery sticks, and sliced bell pepper are all wonderful when dipped in. I've even drizzled it atop chicken for an impromptu ranch chicken, and it's delicious!
Ingredients needed
This recipe's base is Greek yogurt, which adds a thick consistency and a rich flavor! I like to use full-fat Fage yogurt, but low-fat will work as well.
A little mayonnaise adds flavor and richness, though I have made this with just Greek yogurt and it's still delicious!
I don't personally add dill to my recipe, as I don't often have it on hand. Garlic, scallions, and parsley are enough to create that distinct 'ranch' flavor, in my opinion.
How to make Greek yogurt ranch dip
What's best about this ranch dip is how quick and easy it is! Simply add everything to a bowl and whisk together. No need for a blender or food processor.
Greek yogurt offers a nice boost of protein, as well as scrumptious tang. I use only fresh ingredients that are typically on hand. No dill or buttermilk needed!
Greek yogurt Ranch dip tips
I've found Fage Greek yogurt to have the best taste and consistency for this recipe.
My favorite mayo to use is Primal Kitchen with Chosen Foods as a close runner-up.
Though I don't add dill, you can add in 1-2 teaspoons of fresh dill or to taste.
I typically use scallions, as they're more economical, but chives would make a great substitute!
Play with the lemon juice as you see fit. This recipe is very easy to modify to your personal taste!
