Homemade Ranch Dip
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup full fat or 2% Greek yogurt or use sour cream
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1-2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon (about 1/2 clove) minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- dash of ground black pepper
- paprika, to taste (optional), I like to add a small dash
- Worcestershire sauce, to taste (optional), I like to add a small dash
- buttermilk or milk, as needed for desired consistency if making dressing (you do not need to add this if serving as a dip)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This dip is even tastier the next day and stays fresh in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to add more or less of any of the ingredients to get your preferred taste.
- I used 2% Chobani Greek yogurt, which tasted great and gave this dip a little extra protein.
- We like 2 tablespoons fresh dill in this recipe, feel free to adjust that to taste. If you would rather not have such a strong dill flavor only use 1 tablespoon.
- Start with 1/4 teaspoon salt and add more to taste. Keep in mind that it will be saltier if you’re serving it with a salty chip or cracker, however if serving with fresh veggies you might want to add more salt.
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup milk, omit or use less for a thicker dip
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 dried garlic powder
- 1/2 dried onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Perfect! I only had mayonnaise and 1/2 and 1/2 and it worked great for my carrot craving!
So happy you enjoyed!
I love ranch dressing! This is a great recipe for keeping it dairy free 🙂
We love having Ranch dressing/dip at the ready because we use it on so many different dishes and snacks. Your homemade version looks and sounds far superior to any store bought bottle.
Love that use almond milk! I think I could dip EVERYTHING in this!
This dip came just in time for Game Day! We eat Ranch like it’s going out of style!
I can’t believe this dip is made without sour cream or cream cheese! Love the light healthy nature of it. And RANCH — seriously love it!
Nothing like a good homemade dressing that can be served as a dip too. Perfect addition to my BIG game menu, can’t wait to try it!
What a great idea – a really light version of a super creamy dip. Those chips look lovely too – perfect for dunking!
Perfect for this weekend! I love all your suggestions! Homemade is so much better than store bought!
This is sounding very delicious. Perfect for when you run out of your favorite dip!
My kids are HUGE ranch fans and we go through a lot! I love the idea of making my own for them vs the store bought type, thanks.
