Make Homemade Ranch in 5 Minutes
Yup, you can make homemade ranch dip in only 5 minutes! It just takes a few ingredients mixed together in a bowl and you can whip this up quickly to enjoy as a snack with veggies or for last minute gatherings.
Usually ranch dips are made with a combination of sour cream and mayonnaise, but I love swapping the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter dip that’s still super creamy. Once you add the dried chives, dill, garlic, and onion powder, the dip really tastes like ranch dip! It’s a healthy homemade ranch dip with only 50 calories and 2g of fat. I made this with full-fat Greek yogurt and sour cream as it’s richer in flavor, but you can low fat if you want!
Happy Cooking!

Ranch Dip Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt: Opt for full-fat for a richer texture.
- Sour Cream: Just like Greek yogurt, I often choose full-fat sour cream for creaminess. But you can also use low-fat for a lighter dip.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Adds a nice tang. White vinegar or lemon juice can be used as well.
- Seasoning: Use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, dried dill weed, salt and pepper.

Recipe Variations
- Spice It Up: For those who love a bit of heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a sprinkle of paprika to the mix. It goes so well with my air fryer chicken wings!
- Try Using Cream Cheese: While I like my homemade ranch dip more on the thinner side, you can swap out some of the Greek yogurt for cream cheese for a thicker, richer dip.
- Make It Vegan: Use a plant-based yogurt and sour cream alternative to make this recipe vegan-friendly. There are many great options available out there that mimic the texture and taste of regular yogurt and sour cream, such as cashew-based sour cream and coconut yogurt.
- Add Avocado: If you want a creamier texture and a boost of healthy fats, blend in some ripe avocado. Also, the light green-ish color? Gorgeous!
Recipe Tips
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning. I love the balance of tang, herbs and saltiness here, but I still recommend you taste as you mix. And make sure to taste it with a vegetable, not just by dipping your pinky in. 😉
- Bring to room temperature before serving. You can serve this dip straight out of the fridge, but for the best dipping experience, serve it cool, but not too cold. Taking it out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving softens the texture so it’s not super thick.
Serving Ideas
- Vegetables: Choose your favorites like carrots, celery, bell peppers, broccoli or cucumber.
- Crudite Platter
- Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
- Chopped Salad
- Oven Baked Fries
- Baked Zucchini Fries
- Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I used half Greek yogurt and half sour cream and it turned out delish!!! Will be using this on repeat!
Love that!! So happy you liked the recipe. Thanks, Jenni!
I don’t know what I did wrong, but this came out horrible. Adding the apple cider vinegar made it way too vinegary!
Oh no! So sorry to hear you didn’t like it, Alicia. If you thought it was too vinegary, maybe you would prefer substituting lemon juice instead?
I actually made this 2 days ahead of my party. After letting it sit for two days, the flavors blended together and tasted sooo much better!
Yay, that’s awesome! So glad you liked it!!
Just mixed this up and love the fresh taste. One question though…how much fresh dill do you recommend when substituting for the 1 teaspoon dried dill?
I would say about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill! So happy to hear you love the taste!
Thanks so much for your reply and thank you for the excellent recipe!
Just made the ranch dip easy. Used fresh chives from my garden. Tripled the recipe. Delicious!! Thank you!
That sounds perfect! You’re so welcome!

This is really good and healthy , I wasn’t expecting much but it was delicious,I kept eating celery
Haha, that’s perfect! Glad to hear it 🙂
This is the best homemade ranch dip I’ve ever tried. Normally when I make ranch at home it’s not very good. So glad I found this recipe! I made a couple of substitutions: dried dill instead of fresh and heavy cream instead of almond milk. Thanks so much!
Yummy! So glad you loved it and I like your substitutes!! Thank you 🙂
Really really good 😊 thank a lot Yumna…A great replacement for the ones bought at the supermarket 💕
You’re so welcome, Nad!
