Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade ranch dressing using Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy, and fresh flavor that’s lighter than traditional ranch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) buttermilk (or 1/4 cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried onion powder
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Black pepper, a few grinds

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 2 tbsp chives, 1 tbsp dill, and 1 tbsp parsley.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup buttermilk until creamy but pourable. Add more buttermilk if too thick.
  3. Add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped fresh herbs to keep them vibrant.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice, herbs, salt, or pepper as desired.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 1 hour) to let flavors meld and dressing thicken.
  7. Before serving, stir or shake well. Thin with a splash of buttermilk, milk, or water if needed.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for best flavor; if using dried herbs, reduce quantity to one-third and add more lemon juice or vinegar. Chill dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Adjust consistency with buttermilk, milk, or water as needed. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 7 days. Freezing not recommended.
