Homemade Ranch Dressing with Greek Yogurt
Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise to make Ranch is a great way to reduce the fat content and calorie count of everyone’s favorite dressing.
You can use this homemade ranch version on everything you’d typically drizzle, dip, or spread the classic without any guilt.
This recipe goes with everything from everyday side salads to dipping carrot fries!

How Long Does Homemade Ranch Dressing Last
Whenever you make a homemade dressing, store it in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Leaving it out on the counter for hours might reduce its lifespan so I recommend refrigerating it after you use it.
How to Use Homemade Ranch Dressing As a Dressing:
This is PERFECT for adding to a Quick and Easy BLT Salad Recipe or drizzling it on this epic Salad Sandwich.
In a Wrap
Instead of filling your wrap with high-calorie spreads and dressings, use this instead! It’s perfect for Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps because everyone knows that spicy and ranch are the perfect pair!
As a Dip
Ranch dressing dip is totally a thing, and a good one at that. You can dip raw veggies right into the dip or even use it for sweet potato fries or regular baked fries.
Drizzle it on top of a baked potato or dip the pieces of baked potato as well. I’m also a huge fan of using this as a dip for Crispy Baked Salmon Nuggets and this Broccoli & Cheese Nuggets Recipe as well.

I’ve been making this yogurt ranch dressing for a while now because I wanted to find a no-mayo recipe. It’s now a stable. If you could only bottle it up… I’d be on the auto-ship program.

How long does this recipe keep in a container in the refrigerator. We, as a family, are trying to eat healthier this year, but with 2 parents that work full-time outside the house, 2 kids under 6, 4 pets to care for and the other things that come with running a household we are pretty busy. I am not sure I can see us making this everyday to go on our packed lunch salads. If I made a larger batch on my day off would it keep in the refrigerator for a week or so?

Laura, this will last about 5 days in the fridge.

My grandson would not be receptive to the visibility of the parsley and dill. Could I simmer a little milk with parsley and dill, strain, and add to thin the dressing as needed?
MOMables
Yes you could definitely try that!
Helen
What can I use in place of buttermilk ?

2 tablespoons plain yogurt + 1 tablespoon milk
