Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt. This will serve as the creamy base for your ranch dressing.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of dried dill to the yogurt. This herb will give your dressing a fresh, herbal flavor.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These spices will enhance the dressing with savory notes.
- Pour in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. This will add a zesty brightness and help balance the flavors.
- Using a whisk or a fork, mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the dressing is smooth. Make sure there are no lumps of yogurt remaining.
- Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper, then adjust as needed.
- If the dressing is too thick for your preference, you can thin it out by adding a small amount of water or additional lemon juice, mixing until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the dressing is well mixed and seasoned, transfer it to an airtight container or a jar with a lid. This will help keep it fresh.
- Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, though it can be enjoyed immediately if desired.
- Serve your homemade no mayo Greek yogurt ranch dressing with fresh vegetables, salads, or as a dip for your favorite snacks.
Tips
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- For maximum flavor, let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the herbs and spices to fully develop.
- If you prefer a more herbaceous dressing, try adding fresh chopped chives or parsley in addition to the dried dill.
- Adjust the consistency by adding water or extra lemon juice - start with small amounts to control thickness.
- This dressing stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days when stored in an airtight container.
- For a zestier kick, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Use high-quality, fresh spices to ensure the most vibrant flavor profile.
