Homemade Ranch Dip With Greek Yogurt
I love to make dips when we are having people over. It’s an easy way to provide different flavors and choices without having to go overboard with preparation and shopping. Usually we go with a healthy option like this ranch dip with Greek yogurt, or splurge with some creamy olive and red pepper dip and artichoke spinach dip.
I’ve also been known to throw a sweet option in the mix too so that people can dip fresh fruit during our summer parties. My Caramel Apple Dip is a delicious sweet choice and goes great with a variety of fruits!

- nonfat Greek yogurt

How do I make this delicious healthy ranch dip?
This is a super easy recipe. Everything goes into a bowl and gets mixed up. Kids can make it, adults in a hurry can make this, and after an hour or so in the fridge everything really comes together perfectly.
- In a small bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cover and chill for at least one hour.
Can I use this as a dinner appetizer?
This Easy and Light Veggie Dip makes a quick appetizer and is perfect for any party or family get-together. Plus, it comes together in minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand. If you need to get something on the table and don’t want to run to the store this yogurt dip is a great appetizer recipe to try.
Do I really need to refrigerate before serving my yogurt dip?
I’ve found that this dip tastes best if you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving. The flavors meld together, and the dried onion softens. You can serve it up without letting it sit but just know that the flavors will blend and be more appealing after a little time!
Bonus Tip: prep a large batch of this for lunches throughout the week. During the summer this yogurt dip is amazing with some crunchy vegetables. You can put it into dishes with your favorite prepped vegetables like carrots, celery, peppers, and more. An easy lunch on the go that is packed with protein thanks to the Greek yogurt!
Can I enjoy this ranch dip with Greek yogurt on Weight Watchers Freestyle?
Yes! The whole batch is only 7 Weight Watchers Freestyle points. If you divide this recipe up into three or four servings you are only looking at between 2 and 3 points per serving. The great news is that you will have a nice little protein boost for energy and to keep you full longer because of the Greek yogurt.
Because this is a healthier recipe I usually go pretty generous with the serving amounts and split this into 4 servings of about 1/3 cup each. I count one serving at 2 Freestyle Points.
