Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this recipe use Greek-style yoghurt instead of mayonnaise or buttermilk?
The recipe is built 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?
The recipe instructions say to store it in the fridge for up to one week. Because it is yoghurt-based rather than emulsified, it may thicken as it sits — stir or shake before using.
