If you are like me and LOVE ranch anything, you are in for a treat! I love to entertain, mostly because I love to cook and try new recipes, or simply give my mother’s traditional Mexican recipes a healthy face-lift. A regular snack I often have out when hosting is a veggie tray with humus and ranch dip, and but not to worry, because you DON’T have to give up the ranch.
“Necessity is the mother of invention” so I discovered a healthy twist on the classic ranch dip.
It’s really quite good! The taste is very similar to ranch dip made with sour cream. It really doesn’t matter what brand of greek yogurt, as long as it is plain, with no flavoring added. If you are in a pinch and need to whip this up Pronto, just pour a packet of store-bought ranch seasoning mix and substitute the indicated amount of oz. of sour cream for the greek yogurt.
I like to make my own seasoning mix because a lot of the pre-made stuff is really high in sodium. Besides it is really very easy and quick! Here is my recipe for home-made ranch seasoning mix:
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion flakes
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp pepper
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl & add 16 oz. of greek yogurt.
Enjoy, y buen provecho amores!
