🤫 I have a secret 🤫 It’s a big one — the secret to a DIY healthier homemade ranch dressing 😋🥗
BUT it’s actually TWO secrets … and I’m going to share them with you!
✨ Secret No. 1: Greek yogurt instead of sour cream/mayo base for a lighter, protein-packed dressing AND make your own DIY Ranch Spice mix. 🤫
✨ Secret No. 2: Dry buttermilk powder! It’s the secret ingredient that gives the DIY homemade ranch mix that classic tangy flavor. 🤫
Recipe for DIY Ranch Seasoning:
• 2 tbsp dry buttermilk powder (such as The S**O Pantry)
• 2 tbsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp dried chives (optional)
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
🥣 To make the dressing:
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (love siggi’s dairy)
• 2 tsp mayonnaise (to add a bit of richness but can be replaced by yogurt)
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 2 tbsp of your DIY ranch seasoning mix
Mix until smooth. Store extra ranch spice mix in airtight container for next time. Enjoy!
Want it thinner? Whisk in a splash of milk or water until it’s just the way you like it.
No bottled dressing. No mystery ingredients. No hiding bottles of ranch dressing inside your suitcases. Just fresh, flavorful ranch you’ll want to put on everything. 😋
