Ingredients For the 2 Ingredient Ranch Dip Recipe
Greek yogurt: Unflavored, unsweetened Greek yogurt forms the base for this ranch dip.

How to Serve the Ranch Dip
- My absolute favorite way to serve this 2 ingredient ranch dip is to team it up with some fresh veggie sticks. It can be a great healthy platter to enjoy with the kids too!
- You can also thin out the dip by whisking it with some water or milk and use it as a salad dressing.
- This homemade ranch dip can be the perfect teammate to your crackers, buffalo chicken, pizzas, sandwiches, nachos, toasted pita bread and other snacks and party foods.
- This creamy dip can also double up as a spread for your sandwiches and wraps.
Tips & Variations for this Ranch Dip Recipe
- For a richer flavor, substitute half, or all the yogurt for sour cream.
- To make the ranch dip more protein-rich and even more healthy, you can swap the Greek yogurt for some whipped cottage cheese instead.
- To get a thinner texture, you might need to add a splash of water or milk too.
- Remember to use full-fat Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) to make the ranch dip. It will lend the dip the perfect richness and creaminess you’re looking for.
- You can also try this recipe with regular yogurt. Just make sure you strain off all the excess water before you use it for the recipe.
- To add some more fun flavors and oomph to the dip, you can add finely chopped herbs like dill and basil into the mix.
- You can add some lemon zest to the dip for a bit of tanginess.
- To turn this into a buffalo ranch dip, you can mix a spoonful or two of buffalo sauce in.
- You can chop up some jalapenos or olives (or both) and add them to the ranch dip.
It truly is the most versatile dip I’ve ever made- right next to my 3 ingredient pumpkin fluff!
Storage Ideas & Suggestions
This 2 ingredient ranch dip can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Just remember to use a clean glass container to store it, and always have the lid on to keep the dip from drying out.
Questions You Might Have
How far in advance can I make this ranch dip?
I would make it no further than two days in advance. Yogurt can sometimes separate a little of the moisture out of the mix so while the seasonings can benefit from melding together for a while, the extra liquid that rests on the top may have to be stirred back in before serving.
Can I freeze this dip?
I don’t recommend it. I’ve never froze it, but I don’t feel that the texture would be as nice as when it is made fresh.

You can add different ingredients to give your ranch dressing personality, such as crushed garlic, cayenne pepper for spiciness, fresh herbs, bacon, cheddar cheese or lemon juice for extra flavor.
You can use non-fat Greek yogurt to make this sauce healthier, or dairy-free or vegan alternatives for a plant-based version.
