TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this creamy Greek yoghurt ranch.

  • Use Full-Fat Greek Yoghurt: For a richer texture, opt for full-fat yoghurt instead of low-fat or non-fat varieties.
  • Let It Rest: Allowing the dressing to sit for a few minutes before serving enhances the depth of flavour.
  • Adjust Acidity: If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a little more lemon juice.
  • Thinning Options: For a pourable consistency, mix in a small amount of milk or water.
  • Boost Flavour: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a slight kick.
  • Make It Smoother: Blend the dressing with a whisk or immersion blender for a silkier texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Buttermilk Ranch: Replace Greek yoghurt with buttermilk for a thinner, tangier dressing. Adjust the lemon juice accordingly.
  • Creamy Avocado Ranch: Mash in ¼ small avocado for a richer, silkier texture. Add a little extra lemon juice to balance the flavours.
  • Herbed Ranch: Stir in fresh chopped parsley, chives or basil for an extra burst of freshness. Let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse the flavours.
  • Spicy Ranch: Mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for mild heat. Adjust based on spice preference.
  • Dairy-Free Version: Use a plant-based yoghurt alternative to make it completely dairy-free while maintaining creaminess.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before each use, as separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as dairy-based dressings can separate and lose texture when thawed.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, whisk in a small amount of water or lemon juice to restore consistency.
