This homemade ranch dressing is so flavorful! It's a healthy, kid-friendly recipe featuring Greek yogurt, and it makes a great salad dressing, too.

My children love ranch dressing, but I stopped buying it when we made the switch to real food. Salad time can get stressful when I don’t have an easy dressing I can turn to that my children will eat, so I decided to make my own ranch dressing.

I wanted to put together a homemade version that didn’t have mayonnaise in it, so I’ve been experimenting with homemade Greek yogurt. This version came out delicious, and it works well as a dip too.

Greek yogurt is also a great base for dipping fruit. Try my honey yogurt dip with fresh fruit for a healthy snack. And visit my other homemade dressing recipes for more ideas about how to add flavor to your veggies.

This recipe costs $.39 for a half cup of dressing. The Marzetti version that I used to buy costs $4.49 for a 15 ounce jar, or $1.12 per half cup. The store-bought version costs about 3 times as much as my homemade dressing, and my dressing has all the nutritional benefits of yogurt.

  1. Yum!!! I bet this is great. I’ve been making my own greek yogurt for awhile now. I’ll have to step it up with this dressing. Looks delish!

    1. Thanks, Jill! Don’t you love making your own yogurt? It’s so easy, it tastes better than store-bought, and it’s a lot cheaper.
