Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried dill
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free plain Greek yogurt and skim milk until smooth and well combined.
Add the apple cider vinegar and whisk again to incorporate. This adds tang and mimics the buttermilk flavor traditionally found in ranch dressing.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
If you prefer extra spice, stir in the optional hot sauce, adjusting the quantity to suit your taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt or spices for a stronger flavor.
Once fully combined, transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake or stir before serving.
Serve chilled over salads, as a dip for vegetables, or as a topping for wraps and sandwiches.
