Creamy Dill Pickle Ranch Dressing
If you love pickles and ranch, this dressing is going to rock your world. It’s creamy, tangy, and brimming with herby goodness—basically ranch with a zesty dill pickle twist.
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, or light sour cream
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice, dill works best
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped (or ¾ to 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped pickles for texture and crunch, optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. For extra pickle power, stir in the optional chopped pickles. Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving to let the flavors mingle (but not totally necessary, if you’d like to use immediately). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. Give it a good stir before using.
Notes
• Make it richer: Swap nonfat Greek yogurt for 2% or full-fat Greek yogurt… or use sour cream (light or regular) for a more indulgent ranch texture.
• Extra herby: Add chopped parsley, chives, or even a sprinkle of tarragon for more green freshness.
• To make this vegan: Use vegan mayo and a dairy-free yogurt alternative—still tangy and delicious.
• Milder pickle flavor: Use bread-and-butter pickle juice for a sweeter profile instead of dill.
• Spicy twist: Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce or sriracha.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. Give it a good stir before using!
