Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-sodium BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and low-sodium BBQ sauce. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the bowl and mix thoroughly, helping to create a tangy base for the dressing.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, black pepper, and salt. Use a whisk to integrate the spices evenly into the yogurt mixture.
If using, fold in the chopped fresh cilantro to give the dressing an extra pop of freshness.
Check the consistency of the dressing. If it's too thick for your preference, slowly add the water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust any of the seasonings to your liking.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy this heart-healthy BBQ ranch dressing drizzled over salads, or use it as a dip for veggies or a sauce for wraps.
