Ingredients
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried ground mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Whisk together yogurt and buttermilk.
- Whisk in next 8 ingredients (from parsley to pepper).
- Whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of water, depending on the thickness you’d like. For a dip, you might leave as is. For a pourable salad dressing, you might add 2 tablespoons.
- Refrigerate in a glass jar or other airtight container, and let sit for 30 minutes before using.
Notes
You can keep this ranch dressing in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days. Stir or shake before using—storing in a mason jar with a lid makes this super easy!
Make-Your-Own Buttermilk: In a pinch, you can make your own buttermilk. Just take one cup of whole milk or 2% milk and stir in one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until the milk looks slightly thicker. You may also notice that it looks a bit curdled—don’t worry, that will disappear when you use it. Note that with this method, the milk never gets as thick as regular buttermilk, so you may not need to add any water to your final dressing.
