If there’s one sauce every family fridge needs, it’s ranch. And this Homemade Yogurt Ranch Dip? It’s thick, creamy, herby, and made with real ingredients — no bottled stuff, no mystery oils.

It takes just 5 minutes to make, lasts all week, and pairs with literally everything: fries, nuggets, wraps, raw veggies, even as a salad dressing or sandwich spread. It’s cool, tangy, and packed with flavor — the ultimate Healthy Fast Food at Home essential.

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp olive oil mayo (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

  • ½ tsp dried dill

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ¼ tsp sea salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 1–2 tbsp water or milk (to thin, if needed)

  • Optional: 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley or chives

 

Instructions:

  1. Mix it up
    In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Add water or milk a little at a time to reach your desired dip or dressing consistency.

  2. Taste & adjust
    Add more lemon for tang or dill for extra ranchy flavor.

  3. Chill (if you can wait!)
    Let sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes for best flavor — or enjoy right away.

  4. Store
    Keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Make it dairy-free: Use plain unsweetened coconut or almond yogurt.

  • Use it as dressing: Thin it out with more milk or water and drizzle over salads or grain bowls.

  • Add protein: Use high-protein Greek yogurt to boost the macros.

  • Kid tip: Use as a veggie dip — even picky eaters love it!

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Yogurt Ranch Dip is creamy, herby, and endlessly versatile — everything ranch should be, but made with real ingredients you feel good about. Whether you’re dipping fries, wrapping sandwiches, or tossing together a salad, this sauce is your go-to clean classic.
