We started making this sour cream and Greek yogurt ranch dip recipe as because we liked knowing what we were dipping our veggies into and having an extra boost of protein from using yogurt too! We tried A LOT of combinations of our homemade dip to perfect the ratios and ingredients used, and found this 3 ingredient ranch dip to be the winner.
This dip is great for snacking or bringing to a party on a veggie tray (or with a party spreads like our game day charcuterie board!). This dip is extremely easy to prepare, is high in protein, and doesn’t have any strange additives like you often find in store-bought dips. This veggie dip is something you can feel good about eating and sharing with your loved ones.

Why You’ll Love This Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip With Sour Cream
Level of difficulty: Easy, all you need to do is measure and stir!
Flavor: Ranch.
Time: It will take you less than 5 minutes to make this homemade ranch dip.
Yogurt Ranch Dip Ingredients
- Sour Cream: I have generally used regular sour cream when making this ranch dip recipe, but using a light sour cream would be a great option to cut out additional calories in this high-protein ranch dip recipe if you’d prefer!
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Some may label this a Greek yogurt ranch dip from using this ingredient, and I’m ok with that! Greek yogurt adds a wonderful tang that plays off of the creaminess of the sour cream in this ranch dip. Plain Greek yogurt also packs a lot of nutritional punch by being low in fat, low to no sugar (depending on brand), high in protein, and includes probiotics which are great for gut health! I like to use a 2% fat plain Greek yogurt for my dip.
- Ranch Seasoning: Needed to get the ranch flavor into your dip.
See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How To Make Ranch Dip With Greek Yogurt
- Mix your ingredients together: Place sour cream and yogurt in a medium sized bowl and mix to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning and stir to combine. Taste and add additional seasoning, ½ tablespoon at a time, if desired.
- Serve alongside your favorite vegetables and enjoy!
- Store Leftovers: Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
3 Ingredient Ranch Dip Variations
If desired, you can mix in a few different ingredients to change up the flavor of your dip! Try adding one or two of the following options: mix in a small amount of finely chopped shallot or scallion, add a clove of minced fresh garlic, fold in fresh herbs like chopped dill or parsley, add some spice by including a squirt of Sriracha or Mexican-style hot sauce, or add a pop of freshness with some lemon zest.
Serving Yogurt Ranch Dip
What to serve this ranch dip with: This 3-ingredient sour cream dip is the perfect add on to a veggie tray, or for snacking on vegetables at home. My husband also really loves this ranch dip with Spicy Chili Naan Crisps (like, eat up all my ranch dip with these like it).
Party tip: if you’re making this as a part of a series of easy party appetizers for a gathering and are not putting all of your ranch dip on your tray to start, keep the remaining portion of your homemade ranch dip in a sealed container in the fridge to refresh throughout the party! I will often bring large bags of pre-cut vegetables with me as well so I can put more veggies out throughout the event as they get eaten up.
How to store Ranch Dip with Greek Yogurt
Store your homemade ranch dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip FAQs
Since our dip isn’t using buttermilk or milk to make it, your dip may be watery if you’ve dipped fresh veggies or chips directly into the container it’s stored in (transferring moisture to the dip).
Since our dip only has 3 ingredients, you can thicken it by adding in more sour cream or more Greek yogurt. I would recommend stirring in about 1 Tablespoon portions until your desired consistency is reached.
Ranch dressing and ranch dip have very similar ingredients, but will vary is proportion and consistency. The dressing is generally made with milk so that it can be poured over a salad. The dip is often made with a mixture of mayonnaise with either sour cream or yogurt (ours skips the mayo!) to have a thicker consistency perfect for dipping!

This dip made a perfect appetizer at a summer BBQ! I LOVE that it doesnt use a lot of ingredients, which is the case with some homemade dressings and dips. It’s so easy to eat too much sugar and salt with store-bottled ranch, and honestly I like the taste of this better and you get more bang for your buck! What’s nice about something like this too is that you could always throw in a few extra herbs or spices if you wanted a change up in your ranch one day! We had this with bell peppers to dip at the BBQ and it was fantastic, I’m sure it’s great with wings, cucumber, celery, and carrots too! (And for those of you who like to dip your pizza in ranch!)

I just don’t get how three ingredients can taste this good. The spicy crackers plus this dip is a revelation.
