I'm not going to lie, I used to be a ranch packet girl. I'd mix it with sour cream and milk and call it a day. That's until I made this recipe. I'm never going back!
I'm obsessed with the combination of fresh herbs and we're using greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. You simply can't go wrong with a batch of this in the fridge.

Why You'll Love This Recipe:
- Quick and Easy. Skip the store-bought salad dressing and make it homemade instead. The flavors are so much better and it's ready in under 10 minutes.
- Healthier. Bottled ranch is filled with preservatives and this recipe uses better options, like greek yogurt and fresh herbs.
- Big on Taste. I was worried about the greek yogurt being over powering, but when paired with the mayonnaise and spices, you can't even tell a difference from traditional ranch dressing.
- Versatile. If you're a fan of ranch dressing, you know it makes everything better. Try it on these Hot Honey Chicken Tenders, drizzle over BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Southwest Chicken Salad, or Loaded Tater Tots.
Ingredients:
Greek Yogurt: I highly recommend Fage yogurt, either 0% or 2%. It's super creamy and great for this recipe. Make sure to buy plain, without flavor.
Mayonnaise: Crucial for this recipe to add thickness and make it taste like Classic Ranch. I prefer Hellmann's, but the Dukes is fine too.
Milk: I recommend Whole Milk for it's higher fat content.
Fresh Herbs: A combination of fresh parsley, chives and dill make this recipe over the top delicious. I don't recommend substituting for dried unless it's a must.
Lemon Juice: Squeeze it fresh from the fruit for the best flavor.

Substitutions & Variation:
For a thicker ranch dressing, use ½ cup of milk, instead of ¾ cup.
If you have to use dried seasoning instead of fresh, use only 1 teaspoon each of dried dill, dried parsley, and chives.
How to Make Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing:
Step 1: Into a large bowl, whisk together greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, dill, chives and ½ cup milk. Whisk to combine.
Step 2: Pour in remaining ¼ cup slowly whisking at the same time until you get the desired consistency. Note: I use the full remaining ¼ cup, but if you like a thicker texture, you may not need any of it.
Step 3: Store in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors blend and cool.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy!
Expert Tips:
- Mince the herbs really fine for the best taste.
- If you're picky about the texture of your ranch, whisk the last ¼ cup of milk in slowly until the get the desired texture. If it's for dipping you may want to just use ½ cup of milk total, so that it's thicker.
