This good-for-you Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip is thick, creamy, and longs to be smeared on your sandwich or dunked into with chips and veggies.
Say buh-bye fatty ranch dressing that negates every salad it touches.
Hello to this protein-packed skinny ranch dip!
As I shared back when I posted this Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Dip, nothing makes me more skeptical than a dip that advertises itself as “skinny.”
Most of the time, I’d rather have less of the real-deal than more of a low-fat dip that doesn’t satisfy.
Fortunately for us, a thick, dreamy base of plain Greek yogurt is the ideal stealthy healthy vehicle for the addictive garlic, onion, and dill spices that create classic ranch flavor.
Ben, who ingests vegetables with the attitude most humans apply towards cough syrup—a necessary evil—ate a good chunk of this Greek yogurt dip with carrots before I had even started the photographs!

How to Make Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip
All you need for this ranch-style Greek yogurt dip is a cup of your favorite non-fat plain Greek yogurt and a handful of dried herbs and spices that you likely keep stocked in your pantry.
The Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt. Packed with protein, one of my favorite ways to use non-fat plain Greek yogurt is to turn it into a healthy Greek yogurt dip or sauce. It’s the best “skinny” swap for sour cream which is commonly used in other dip recipes.
- Garlic Powder and Onion Powder. Lends some zip and a little bite to the dip.
- Dill and Chives. Brings color, freshness and that signature ranch flavor.
- Worcestershire Sauce. Adds saltiness and craveable, savory umami flavor to the dip.
- Cayenne Pepper. Just a pinch of this spice goes a long way in adding a touch of heat to this cooling dip.
The Directions
- Gather ingredients.
- Combine everything together into a bowl.
- Stir until blended and garnish with fresh chives. ENJOY!
Serving Ideas
Serve this ranch Greek yogurt dip for veggies, chips and more.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to enjoy this healthy, low-calorie dip:
- As a dip with Baked French Fries or Sweet Potato Fries.
- Spread on a Pulled Chicken Sandwich or Avocado Chicken Burger.
- Dolloped between layers of bacon and tomato on a Classic BLT.
- Serve alongside a platter of Grilled Portobello Mushrooms.
Storage Tips
- To Store. Refrigerate leftover ranch-style greek yogurt dip in an airtight container for up to three days.

I know these ingredients make one cup. But if I was just going to dip some veggies how many servings would this make?
Hi Nicole! I find this serves 4 to 6 if you have it as a part of a spread with a few other items. I hope this is helpful!
This tastes a lot like onion dip to me, very very good as a veggie tray dip. I made it for my daughter to dip broccoli tots in as she is allergic to egg and can’t have typical ranch. Definitely recommend this as a dip for whatever!!
So happy you enjoyed it Kayla!
Delicious! Even my 12 year old daughter who doesn’t like ranch dip or even Greek yogurt, thinks it is tasty!

Perfect! I made a new recipe that was missing a little something and needed a dip or a sauce. I searched for “yogurt dip” and 2 minutes later dinner was complete! I added a touch of red vinegar and a pinch of sugar too.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Monica! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Ok this is SO much healthier than the Kraft brand and if you leave it in the fridge for at least a few hours it is DELICIOUS. On weight watchers and the entire cup of this is the same amount of points as 2 tbsp of Kraft! Hallelujah!
Great recipe! Thank you!

Hi, can you replace Greek yogurt by regular plain yogurt? Thank you
Hi Jane, while I have not tried it myself with regular plain yogurt, other readers have with success! Let me know if you try it!
I love how easy this is, and uses ingredients I always have on hand. Best of all, it’s got a great flavor that works well with veggies. A winner!

Hi Alexis! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This has been my go-to ranch dressing for a couple years now and I love it! I usually add lemon juice to thin it out a bit, but this healthy swap is a keeper.
Hi Sarah! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Erin, I am a senior citizen who has never left a comment on a website before, but I felt compelled to do so. I have used many of your recipes, and they are ALL excellent. I’m especially excited about this dip recipe now that I have to be on a low sodium, high protein diet. This recipe is exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work – you are an excellent and health conscious cook!
Hi Roxanne! I’m so glad you did! Thank you for this kind review!
Haven’t tried recipes. Wondering why the sodium is missing in the nutrition analysis. RD at dialysis clinic; sodium is always an issue. Thanks
Hi Kim! I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!
Yummy! Didn’t have the chives, but that’s okay. I will be using it today for my baked potato wedges.
Hi Lori! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Hi could I make this with fresh dill? If yes how much would I use? Excited to try it, sounds tasty!!
Hi Bianca! I’ve not used fresh dill in this, but did a quick Google search. It seems 1 tablespoon fresh dill = 1 tsp dried dill. So since this recipe calls for 1/2 tsp dried dill then it would be 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Make this healthy dip recipe often. Guests love it!
Hi Danielle! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Omg. It tastes too good to be skinny😍
There is nothing better in the summer than tomatoes fresh from the garden. So I diced my tomatoes and dunked them in this delicious dip. Thinking about substituting this for mayo! Thank you!
