Homemade Ranch

Creamy, tangy, and so much better than bottled, this homemade ranch is made with simple ingredients, Greek yogurt, and a splash of kefir for the perfect consistency. It's an everyday staple for salads, veggies, dipping, and just about everything in between.

Ingredients

Homemade Ranch

• 1/2 cup 5% plain organic Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup organic sour cream
• 1/4 cup unsweetened kefir
• 1 tsp dried parsley or 1 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp dried dill or 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped dill
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Add the Greek yogurt, sour cream, kefir, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to a bowl.
2. Whisk until completely smooth and combined.
3. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
4. Stir before serving. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

For a thicker ranch, start with less kefir and add more as needed. For a thinner, pourable dressing, add an extra splash of kefir, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep in mind the ranch will thicken slightly as it chills.
