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.
2Pour in the fresh lime juice and sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the mixture.
3Add the fresh cilantro and garlic blend to the bowl.
4Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and fully combined, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
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.
