If you’re ready to elevate your snack game and impress your friends, it’s time to whip up a batch of homemade ranch dip. The dip is creamy, tangy, and herbaceous. I make the ranch with cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt so this dip is packed with protein and I promise it tastes GREAT! There is no mayo involved! I normally love using fresh herbs in my recipes, but for this dip I use dried herbs to keep it super simple. It only takes 5 minutes to make and I always have the ingredients on hand. Serve it with fresh vegetables, crackers, chips, chicken tenders, or bread. Kids and adults love dipping and dunking. And the best part? The dip will keep in the fridge for up to one week so you can make it in advance. It makes a great healthy snack or easy appetizer.
Ingredients
Cottage cheese– use your favorite brand. I like Good Culture or Daisy. Greek yogurt– make sure you use plain Greek yogurt. Whole milk, low fat, or fat free is fine. I love Costco’s organic plain Greek yogurt. You can also use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt. Lemon juice– use a lemon squeezer! Herbs– dried dill, dried parsley, and dried chives! You can garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Spices– garlic powder and onion powder.
How to Make Ranch Dip
In a blender or food processor, combine all of the ingredients.
Blend until smooth. If you need to stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl or blender with a spatula, you can.
Pour into a small serving bowl and garnish with fresh chives, if desired.
What to Serve with Ranch Dip
Fresh vegetables (carrots, celery, cucumbers, peppers, radishes, snap peas, etc.) Roasted vegetables Crackers, pita chips, or potato chips Pita bread, naan bread, or baguette Chicken wings or chicken tenders French fries, potato wedges, sweet potato fries, or sweet potato wedges Pizza Spread the dip on a sandwich or wrap for an extra layer of flavor.
How to Store
Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving. I love keeping this dip in the fridge at all times for a healthy snack!
