If you like healthy dip recipes with Greek yogurt, you’ll love my Greek Yogurt Fruit Dip, Blue Cheese Dressing Without Sour Cream, Yogurt Tahini Sauce, Tzatziki Sauce, and Turkish Aubergine Dip. You will need:
Greek Yogurt: I like to use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt. However, you can use low-fat or non-fat Greek yogurt to make a guilt-free, low-calorie dip for veggies. Alternatively, you can use plain yogurt for a thinner consistency. I make my Yogurt Dill Sauce with plain yogurt often and it turns out great. Garlic Powder: I prefer garlic powder as it gives it a nice robust garlic flavor. However, if you prefer a more intense garlic taste, you can use one clove of fresh minced garlic. Onion Powder: Onion powder gives it that signature ranch flavor so do not skip it/ Kosher salt Chives: Chives add a mild, onion-like flavor that complements this healthy ranch dip, but they can be hard to find at the grocery store. If you can’t find fresh chives, you can use freshly chopped green onions, dried chives, or fresh dill instead.
Dried herbs: Our homemade ranch seasoning with Greek yogurt combines garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. You can stick to this recipe to keep it super basic or throw in some dried herbs (or fresh herbs) to amp up the flavor. I recommend adding ¼ teaspoon each of dried chives, dried dill, and dried parsley per cup of ranch Greek yogurt dip. Spices: While optional, a pinch of cayenne or a sprinkle of paprika is a nice addition. Vinegar: If preferred, an equal amount of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used in place of lemon juice. 2-ingredient option: While the homemade ranch seasoning is a healthy, preservative-free, and low-sodium alternative to traditional ranch seasoning, you can still use a premade seasoning mix, such as a Hidden Valley ranch packet, if you’re in a pinch. To make a Hidden Valley ranch dip with Greek yogurt, I recommend using 2 teaspoons of seasoning per cup of yogurt. Add a drizzle of olive oil: For a special presentation, add a drizzle of olive oil to top off your healthy veggie dip.
Serve it with your favorite veggies: Ranch dip and fresh veggies? A match made in heaven! Whip up a large bowl of this vegetable dip as a healthy dip for carrots, cucumbers, celery sticks, and peppers. This recipe also makes the perfect Greek yogurt chip dip for all your favorite potato chips. Make it a part of your cheese board: Serve it as a part of your meat and cheese board, along with pita bread or crackers. Pair it with party foods: From chicken wings to burgers, this low-calorie ranch dip is the ideal accompaniment to all your favorite Game Day Foods. If you’re looking for recipe ideas, these Slow Roasted Chicken Wings are always a hit at parties, and this Spinach Cheese Quesadilla is a true crowd-pleaser. You also can’t go wrong with serving it as a dipping sauce for fries (especially if you have kids).
Just make sure to give it a stir before serving, as the ingredients tend to separate as they sit. If your yogurt dip for vegetables appears too watery after stirring, you can add a tablespoon or two of Greek yogurt to return it to a creamy consistency.
Helpful Tips:
Let it rest: While it can be served right after it is made, I almost always make this yogurt vegetable dip a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Allowing it to sit in the fridge helps flavors melt together. Taste for seasoning: I highly recommend giving it a taste before serving and adjusting it according to what I am serving it with. For example, if I am serving this yogurt dip with raw vegetables (like carrots, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes) are my favorite), I might put a little bit more salt into the mixture. On the contrary, if I am serving it with chips, I might add a little bit less. Turn it into a dressing: You can easily turn this yogurt-based dip into a salad dressing by thinning it with a bit of water. I would start with two tablespoons of water and increase it in small increments until I reached my desired consistency.
