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 made this receipe in August for a.veggue tray. I had left overs about 1/3 ccip and for future reference, l frozed it. Here it is November and l took it out and thawed it by sitting the container in faucet hot water and letting it slowly thaw. It was wonderful on my chicken leg. ( l was sorry l didn’t have more)
Hi Barbara! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Wonderful! Thank you so much!! I did it twice this week and doubled it!
Hi Caroline! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
THE AMOUNTS FOR THE DIP ARE NON EXISTENT!
Hi Justin, I’m so confused because I see it on my end. It’s in the recipe card, right above where you commented. There is even a “jump to recipe” button at the top of the screen to help take you straight there. Could you please check again?
Ranch isn’t a thing in Scotland but I love veggies and Dip or crisps and Dip, finding a healthy one that doesn’t taste weird is rare! But this Dip is incredible!
Much loved by all the family, I did add a touch more garlic granules cause garlic is life in this household 😋
Made a Cup amount last night and its already gone! Cannot wait to make more and try more of your recipes!
Hi Dea! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Question, I’m going to make this today but wondering why you recommend only keeping it refrigerated for 3 days? Is it because of the chives?
Hi Tracy! It’s just based on all of the other ingredients mixed into the Greek yogurt that I found 3 days to the optimal storage for it!
Taste test was excellent, hopefully the crowd likes it tomorrow! I forgot dip for a veggie tray at the grocery store today, so I found your recipe for inspiration and used what I had on hand. I had about 2/3 c yogurt, so I added some cream cheese and a dollop of mayo to make up the volume and replaced the dill and salt with ~2/3 tsp celery salt. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sofia! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Tastes great, but when I think of veggie dip I don’t think of spice, even if it’s just a hint. I’d use half the amount of cayenne pepper if I were to make this again, and add a bit of black pepper & fresh garlic. Other than that this is perfect. I did have to add a bit more salt, & I used fresh dill, but that’s just my taste preference. pretty good for such a healthy dip, will definitely make it again.
Hi Jordyn! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is great! Just made my first batch and will tell you now that it won’t be my last! I am forcing myself to enjoy yogurt and have decided that Greek yogurt is my own, personal, viable option. This fits the bill perfectly and will be a regular in my new weekly schedule.
Hi Denyse! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Overall the recipe was good, but I felt it was missing something. I added a half teaspoon of white vinegar and that seemed to do the trick.
Hi Brian! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review and feedback!
Taste great as a dip but wondering if you have a trick to turn this into a salad dressing – a little looser.
Hi Terri! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I just made this for a party and all I can say is… I should have tested it before serving it. Unfortunately, everyone at the party found it inedible and it completely went to waste. Just tasted like bad yogurt (my yogurt was in date) no matter how many spices I added.
I’m sorry to hear the recipe wasn’t to your taste, Abi. I know it’s disappointing to try a new recipe and not enjoy it. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed it, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too!
