Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip – the Healthy Alternative
Love ranch? If you’re buying store-bought, bottled dressing and dip you likely already know how terrible it is for you. This 5-ingredient healthy ranch dip recipe tastes just like ranch AND is a much healthier option!
Those store-bought bottled dressings, dips and mixes are made with mostly unhealthy, processed ingredients that are inflammatory in your body. These inflammatory ingredients are high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, MSG and other processed additives.
This Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip is a much better option for snacking on fresh veggies. Made with just 5 ingredients and no toxic oils, this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip will have you never buying the bottled, store-bought stuff again!

For exact ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions be sure to reference the recipe at the bottom of this post.

This Greek yogurt veggie dip comes together in less than 5 minutes. Simply stir in the garlic salt, dried parsley, onion powder and black pepper to the Greek yogurt. You now have a simple, healthy veggie dip ready to go for snacking.
What type of yogurt should I use for yogurt dip?
I use and prefer full-fat (2% or 5%) Fage Greek yogurt. We need good fats in our diet. Fat helps keep us full, satiated, and aids in digestion and brain function.

Serve this simple, healthy Greek yogurt dip with all of your favorite fresh vegetables. Fresh carrots, broccoli, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, cauliflower and snow peas are delicious with dip.
This is also great for bringing to a party where you would like a healthy option. Serve it alongside my Pepperoni Pizza Sliders, Cranberry Sauce Meatballs, White Queso Dip or my Cranberry Turkey Roll-ups.
How do I meal prep this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip?
Find a container that works for you. I like these Snack Attack Containers by Sistema. (pictured below).
These containers have large section for veggies and a smaller section for dip. The lid seals tightly with side clamps, making it nearly leak-proof.
This container is perfect for packing in a lunchbox. It’s also a great way to plan ahead when you know you’ll want and need a healthy snack.
