Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip For Two
This creamy Small Batch Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip is easy, nutritious, and takes only a few minutes to throw together. It’s perfect for dipping veggies and with a little milk stirred in makes a tasty salad dressing too!
One way we fight food waste in our little two-person household is by making homemade dressings and dips. They take minutes to whip up, are simple to customize, and you can make only what you need.
This Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip For Two is one of our favorite small-batch dressings. It’s made using mostly herbs and seasonings from the pantry. The recipe makes about 1/4 cup of dip but can easily be doubled if you want to have a little extra on hand.
It’s great for mixing into a Broccoli Ranch Salad or dipping anything potato-related like potato wedges, potato skins, or these yummy sweet potato rounds.
Recipe Notes
Plain Greek Yogurt: You can use whole milk, nonfat, or 2%. The more fat in the yogurt the richer the dip will be.
Herbs: To make this recipe with fresh herbs instead of dried herbs increase the amount of each herb by 3x the amount called for. For example, instead of using 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, use 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley.
Instructions
1. Once you’ve gathered up your ingredients add them to a bowl and whisk well to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper as desired.
2. To turn the dip into a ranch dressing, whisk in some buttermilk or milk. Start with just a teaspoon or two then add more a little at a time until it’s as thin as you’d like.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need all the herbs?
Maybe? The variety of different herbs and seasonings is what gives the dip its familiar ranch flavor. It’s really going to depend on you and your taste buds.
Can I leave out the mayo?
The mayo gives the dip/dressing a little tang and a richer texture. It also works as an emulsifier, binding the yogurt and other ingredients together.
I’m not a big mayo fan so I usually make the recipe with just 1 teaspoon of mayo. Tim loves it in the dip and likes to use a whole tablespoon when he makes it. You do what works best for you!
