Bottled ranch has about 130 calories and almost no protein in two tablespoons. This Greek yogurt ranch has 28 calories and 3 grams of protein, and tastes like the real thing thanks to buttermilk, fresh herbs and one spoonful of mayo.

Let it rest

Freshly mixed, it tastes like herby yogurt. After 30 minutes in the fridge the garlic, onion and dill bloom and it becomes ranch.

How to use it

Make it spicy

Stir in 1 tbsp hot sauce for buffalo ranch, or 1 chipotle in adobo for a smoky southwest version.
