Ingredients
11 servings
- •245 g Greek Yogurt (Nonfat)
Plain Greek yogurt — nonfat (0%) or low-fat (2%). Not regular yogurt.
- •30 g Mayonnaise, Light
- •25 g Lime Juice, Fresh
- •10 g Ranch Seasoning Mix, Dry
- •5 g Cilantro, Fresh
- •5 g Garlic Blend, Seasoning
- •15 g Water
Instructions
- 1Add the nonfat Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise to a medium mixing bowl and whisk together until combined, about 1 minute.
- 2Pour in the fresh lime juice, sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the mixture, and whisk until no streaks remain, about 1 minute.
- 3Add the fresh cilantro and garlic blend to the bowl, then whisk until the herbs are evenly distributed and the sauce is smooth, about 1 minute.
- 4Add the water a little at a time while whisking until the sauce reaches your desired consistency—it should be pourable but still thick enough to coat a spoon.
- 5Divide evenly into 11 small airtight containers (approximately 2 tablespoons per container) while the sauce is fresh.
- 6Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- 7Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days; stir briefly before each use to recombine any separated liquids.
Notes
Built on the Greek Yogurt Sauce Base. Use on tacos, nachos, grilled chicken, or burrito bowls. Dried cilantro works great for meal prep — or blend in a small handful of fresh cilantro leaves for a greener, brighter version. Bump the lime juice for more citrus pop.
