Dairy-Free Low-Fat Ranch Dressing and Dip

Nothing beats classic dairy-free ranch dressing, but this dairy-free low-fat ranch dressing is a delicious option when you need something lighter. It was an entry in a recipe contest that we cohosted, and was created and submitted by Moriah Geller.

Lighten Up with this Dairy-Free Low-Fat Ranch Dressing

Moriah blends dairy-free yogurt with just a touch of mayonnaise to maintain the natural creaminess of this popular condiment while trimming the fat and calories. Her recipe is also a small batch, so you can enjoy it fresh! But I do have a few quick notes to answer some FAQs.

How Much Salt Do You Recommend?

Personally, I think either garlic salt, salt, or garlic powder + salt works great. We’ve tried this recipe, and I don’t think both garlic salt and salt are needed. I would sprinkle in just a little garlic salt, to taste, or add a dash of garlic powder + a pinch of salt.

Can I Use Fresh Dill?

Yes, in fact it’s encouraged! Go ahead and use 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of fresh dill in place of the dried if you have it.

Can I Make a Larger Batch of this Dairy-Free Low-Fat Ranch Dressing?

You definitely can. Simply double, triple, or quadruple the ingredients. You can buy a large tub of So Delicious unsweetened yogurt or similar brand if needed. We’ve added a large batch option to the recipe.

Does this Dressing Contain Probiotics?

As long as the dairy-free yogurt you’re using contains live and active probiotics, this dairy-free low-fat ranch dressing will too! It isn’t heated, so the good bacteria are preserved.

How Long does this Dairy-Free Low-Fat Ranch Dressing?

As long as your dairy-free yogurt is fresh, it will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container or jar.

This healthy dressing uses a base of dairy-free yogurt with just a touch of mayonnaise to make it smooth and rich. It's on the tangy side. You can reduce the lemon juice, to taste, if you prefer it less tangy.
