Ranch Dressing
Prep: 5 min Total: 5 minutes Serving: 1 cup
This homemade ranch is delicious, creamy, and the perfect dressing for a variety of dishes. I don’t even miss the store-bought kind, and I love how quickly it comes together.
¾ cup (6 oz.) organic plain yogurt
¼ cup sour cream*
1 ½ tsp. apple cider vinegar**
1 ¼ tsp. dried dill or 1 ¼ tablespoons fresh dill
1 tsp. dried parsley or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1 tsp. dried chives or 1 tablespoon fresh chives
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper
Fresh dill, chives, parsley, or fresh herbs of choice for topping
Optional: Regular milk or buttermilk for thinner consistency
*May substitute with ¼ cup mayonnaise, buttermilk, or Greek yogurt
**May substitute with white vinegar, red wine vinegar, or fresh lemon juice
To make this recipe low-calorie and low-fat: Use 2% yogurt and opt for lite sour cream instead of regular.
To change the consistency: To thicken the ranch dressing, use Greek yogurt instead of organic plain yogurt. For a thinner version of the dressing, use ¼ cup buttermilk in place of the sour cream or add small amounts of milk or buttermilk until the desired consistency is achieved.
Instructions
Put all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well until combined.
Optional step: For a thinner consistency, add milk or buttermilk 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
To serve as a dip, garnish with fresh dill, parsley, herbs, or chives.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, for up to 1 week.
