Ranch is a popular salad dressing and dip in the US. It's made with tangy herbs and aromatics like dill, parsley, garlic, and onion. Ranch dressing is usually made with buttermilk and a blend of other creamy ingredients like sour cream and mayonnaise.

Today, we're using Greek yogurt as the base for our ranch dip. Greek yogurt is an excellent substitute because it's high in protein, creamy, and tangy.

Add this ranch dip to your next appetizer table or snack tray. It's great for dipping potato chips, celery and carrot sticks, or chicken nuggets.

Ingredients and substitutions

Ingredients on a counter top.

Greek yogurt - You'll need plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt for this recipe. I prefer Greek yogurt for the thicker texture and higher protein content. Make sure you're not buying vanilla or other flavors of yogurt. You need plain, unflavored yogurt. Greek yogurt can be substituted with half sour cream and half mayonnaise for a traditional ranch dip.

Ranch seasoning - Your ranch seasoning can be homemade or store bought. Ranch seasoning adds a tangy, garlic and herb flavor to the yogurt.

Tips and tricks

Add seasoning to taste - While mixing your dip, do a taste test and add more seasoning to achieve your desired flavor. Store bought and homemade seasoning blends can vary in flavor, so you may need to add extra seasoning to suit your tastes.

Chill before serving - While your dip is ready to eat immediately, I recommend chilling it before serving. This time allows the flavors to meld and dried herbs to hydrate, creating a more cohesive, smooth dip.

Storage

Your Greek yogurt ranch dip will keep for up to a week in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

If your dip separates while refrigerated, give it a quick stir before serving.

Ranch dip can be served with celery sticks, baby carrots, broccoli florets, pork rinds, potato chips, corn chips, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, potato skin, and french fries. You could also use it in a sandwich or in a wrap as a spread.

What other seasonings can I add to Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt dip is easy to customize with your favorite seasoning blends. Try adding taco seasoning to make a taco dip or cajun seasoning for a savory, lightly spiced dip.

Can this be made ahead?

Yes, Greek yogurt ranch dip can be made a day or two ahead of an event like a potluck or party. Give your dip a stir just before serving if dip separated while refrigerated.
