I can't quite explain just how good this dip is. It is SO good. We have been using Greek yogurt to make dips for a while, but adding in some ranch seasoning is just next level.
Ranch dip with Greek yogurt is a low fat alternative to a regular ranch dip, and it's also higher in protein. Pair this with some veggie sticks and you have a delicious and healthy snack or something a little different to serve up at a party.

Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Greek yogurt - This is the main ingredient, so choose the best quality you can as you will be able to tell the difference. Real Greek yogurt is really thick, which will give you the best consistency for the dip. We used 0% fat, but you can use any plain yogurt.
- Ranch seasoning - Ranch seasoning has so many uses, but this is our favourite. You can make your own homemade ranch seasoning if you prefer. You could also just add in some ranch dressing or even some onion powder and garlic powder with some dried dill if that's all you have.
- Cheese - We added some cheddar, as it thickens it out and gives it an extra rich flavour. You could leave it out if you wanted a lighter option.
- Onions - Adds lots of crunch and flavour. You could add diced shallots if you prefer.
Variations
Herbs - If you want to add an extra kick of flavour, then add some fresh herbs like dill or chives.
Spices - A little smoked paprika or red chilli flakes add a nice flavour to this Greek yogurt ranch dip.
Cheese - We used some sharp mature cheddar to thicken this ranch dip. But you could swap it for Parmesan or crumbled feta instead.
Avocado - Blend in half a ripe avocado for a smooth, creamy texture and extra nutrients as it's a great source of good fats.

Frequently Asked Questions
This dip will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container.
Yes, you can, but the dip will be thinner. If using regular yogurt, consider straining it through a cheesecloth to remove some of the excess liquid for a thicker consistency.
