Low Calorie Ranch Dressing made with yogurt! This lightened up dressing is low in fat and calories and higher in protein. Made mayo free making this a healthier, waist friendly salad dressing. Top on salads, sandwiches or serve as a dip.

Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing! This lightened up dressing is low in fat and calories and higher in protein. Made mayo free making this a healthier, waist friendly salad dressing. Top on salads, sandwiches or serve as a dip. Gluten Free + Low Calorie

Get ready for a healthy yogurt salad dressing! There's nothing better than ranch dressing dipped in everything, except the calories do add up quickly. Before my 80 pound weight loss, I put ranch on everything completely unaware of what I was eating.

This healthy homemade ranch dressing is simple to make and tastes delicious dipped in buffalo chicken tenders or air fryer chicken wings!

Traditional ranch dressing recipes have oil and mayonnaise in them. These are fat sources and fat sources have more calories than carbohydrates and protein. Dressings can be a hidden source of over consuming calories without realizing it.

This Greek yogurt ranch is simple to make with just a handful of ingredients and has less fat and calories overall without sacrificing flavor or taste! I make a jar of yogurt ranch and keep it in the refrigerator to top my favorite low calorie caesar salad recipe or a warm chicken salad!

This low calorie ranch takes just five minutes to prepare in a blender or food processor and is filled with good for you ingredients that taste great. I like using my ninja blender-food processor for making dressings over a blender or food processor.

The best part about this recipe is you can adjust the seasonings to the flavor you like and adjust the liquid to the consistency you prefer to make your healthy ranch dressing recipe to your own preference!

Make sure you chill your clean ranch dressing in the refrigerator before serving so the flavors and consistency have a chance to blend really well together.

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt I used Fage
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons water to thin the dressing, or substitute milk for a creamy texture
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup dill fresh, chopped or 1/2 tsp of dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Process on high until smooth. 
  • Test the dressing and adjust as needed. You may need to add a little more water if you like your dressings thinner, or more lemon juice for a tarter flavor, more seasonings, etc. This was the combo I liked best!
  • Once complete, transfer to a mason jar and place in the refrigerator to set 30 minutes. The flavors will combine more in the refrigerator together!

Notes

  • Recipe will make slightly over a 1/2 cup.
  • Each serving is approximately 2 tablespoons.
