Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this recipe use Greek-style yoghurt instead of mayonnaise or buttermilk?
I build this dressing on 1 cup (240 ml) of natural Greek-style yoghurt, which provides the thick, creamy base and tang of a classic ranch with significantly fewer calories than a mayonnaise or sour-cream base. The ¼ cup of milk or fresh cream loosens the yoghurt to a pourable dressing consistency.
How long does this ranch dressing keep in the fridge?
Store it in the fridge for up to one week. Because it’s yoghurt-based rather than emulsified, it may thicken as it sits — just stir or shake before using.
