Healthy Ranch Dressing
Healthier ranch dressing that can be used in salads, wraps or sandwiches. Refreshing and better than store-bought ones.
Oh, yes! You are on the right blog. This is still me. 😀 Is this the first time you are seeing the word ‘healthy’ on the title of my post? I guess so. Hmm, let us hope that this will not be the last time. 😀
I think I am trying to explore again as I’ve been thinking of making homemade salad dressing for some time now. My favorite is Caesar dressing, but was not able to find anchovies so I opted for something new (for me) and healthier. I suddenly thought of ranch dressing and I settled for it.
Ranch dressing or any salad dressing is better when made from home as you know what you’re putting inside your body.
In this ranch dressing, I used 0% fat and organic Greek yogurt. This came out so refreshing and perfect with any kind of salad or can be used in sandwiches or wraps, too.
I am sharing this with my Fiesta Friday friends at this week’s Fiesta Friday # 155. I hope Angie and the rest of the gang will love this. 😀
Healthy Ranch Dressing
- 1/2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, fat-free
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Do a taste test and adjust accordingly.
- Transfer to a container and chill inside the fridge.
Notes:
1/4 tsp each of dried dill and parsley can be used instead of fresh ones.
This dressing can last up to 3 days inside the fridge or check how many days your yogurt must be consumed after opening.
This dressing can be used in salad, sandwiches or wraps.
This recipe yields 1/2 cup / 125 ml of dressing, but can be doubled or tripled…
I hope you like this recipe and let me know. 😉

I think ranch dressing usually uses sour cream with/without milk. This version is great, too, when you are on a diet. 😀 Thanks, Kirsty. x

Sounds delicious. I never use ready made dressings, it is so quick and easy to make your own and at least you know exactly what is in it.
Jhuls
You are definitely correct, Nadia. Thanks for stopping by. x

Perfect! I’d eat that very happily!!! shop bought dressings are often packed with sugar and salt, so much better to make your own and take control!! X
Jhuls
I couldn’t agree more, Elaine. Thanks for stopping by. x
