Greek yogurt subs in for sour cream and buttermilk in this healthy homemade ranch dressing. There are tons of fresh herbs in there too. You’re going to love this one! Our Salad Dressing series is sponsored by Stonyfield Organic. Mmmm…gotta love all that tasty yogurt!
So it’s true that you can buy some good dressings at the grocery store. But I tell yah, they’re nowhere (nowhere!) near as good as our Homemade Ranch Dressing. Our ranch recipe is packed with bright fresh herbs and once you taste it, you’ll never go back to the bottle.
Instead of the usual sour cream and buttermilk found in ranch dressing, we opted for mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Why? Greek yogurt is healthier than sour cream and we always have it and mayonnaise in the fridge. None of us ever has buttermilk. Do you?
Ranch dressing is super-easy to make at home. How do you do it? Chop up the herbs and then mix them and everything else up in a bowl. Done. Nothing to it.
Cover and refrigerate it after making it. The herb flavors will blend into the creaminess the longer it sits. We recommend letting it hang out in the fridge for at least two hours and then giving it a stir before serving.
Oh, and hey, this dressing is nice and thick. You could even use it as a ranch dip. If you want it thinner, go ahead and drizzle in some milk or water. Just a little at a time and you’ll be just fine.

Tried this recipe and it was great. Use Cayenne pepper and apple cider vinegar instead of black pepper and white vinegar. Omitted the dill, had none on hand.. Taste was on point. Will not be buying Ranch Dressing again. The whipping gave it an extra creamy texture.
Thank you so much, Elgitha! I appreciate you letting us know your adjustments.
Would this be good without the mayonnaise? Or would the yogurt be too tart without the mayo?
I haven’t tried it without the mayonnaise, Janet. You could try using regular plain yogurt, instead of Greek, since it is less tangy.
Hello! Looks fantastic; I can’t wait to try it. What kind of mayonnaise do you use, though?
Neisha, Any kind of store-bought mayonaisse. Whatever kind you like the taste of already will work here.
love that this uses greek yoghurt which i always have in my home (here in Greece).
dont have chives or dill, wonder if i can substitute other herbs for these.
Sam, Yes, other herbs work. Parsley and lots of black pepper, for instance.
