Gorgeously Garlicky Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing

Prep:5min

I love ranch dressing, but the truth is that I'm not really a huge fan of mayo! I started playing around with using thick Greek yogurt instead of mayo in my homemade ranch dressing and I've never looked back! Ranch is SO easy to make in a pinch and the quantity of milk can be adjusted depending on how thick you'd like it (ie dip consistency vs. dressing consistency). I love this on salads, served alongside a grilled piece of fish, or of course spread on some toasted bread to jazz up a summertime BLT.

can sub in mayo if you prefer!

45mlmilk

add more to thin out as needed

15mlextra virgin olive oil

5mllemon juice

3 clovesgarlic

finely minced

2gflaky sea salt

use a little less if using fine salt

2.5ggarlic powder

or garlic granules

3gonion granules

or dried chopped onion

3gdried parsley

optional

2 teaspoonsfresh chives

finely chopped

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl or in a large jar, stir together the Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, lemon juice and minced garlic cloves until evenly combined.

Step 2

Add in the pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion granules and dried parsley and mix together until everything is mixed in nicely. Adjust the seasonings if you wish - maybe you'd like a little more salt or pepper, an extra clove of minced garlic or an extra squeeze of lemon.

Step 3

Let sit for at least 15 minutes before using. The dried garlic, parsley and onion need a little bit of time to soften up in the dressing.

Step 4

Add in more milk as needed once the dried ingredients have absorbed some of the liquid from the dressing. I find it'd a great consistency for dip or for spreading on sandwiches once the dressing has sat for a little while. If I plan to use as dressing, I just thin it out with a splash of milk as needed.

Step 5

Store in a sealed container or jar for up to 5 days in the fridge. Enjoy!
