How to Make Ellies Healthy Ranch Dressing

  1. If using plain yogurt, line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth or a paper towel and place it over a bowl. Pour 1 cup of plain yogurt into the sieve and let it drain for at least 20 minutes (or up to an hour for a thicker consistency).
  2. While the yogurt drains, finely chop 1/2 cup fresh dill, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, and 2 cloves garlic.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the drained yogurt (or 1 cup Greek yogurt), 1/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Add the chopped dill, parsley, and garlic to the bowl and stir gently to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
