  • 2 cups Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt of choice
  • 2.5 tablespoons ranch seasoning 2 to 2.5 tbsp, or one store-bought packet
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded; or dairy-free shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup bacon crumbled; regular or turkey bacon
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the ranch seasoning. Stir the mixture until the seasoning is well blended into the yogurt base.

  3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This allows the ranch flavors to meld and the texture to set.
  5. Before serving, give the dip a quick stir and top with additional crumbled bacon and green onions for a fresh presentation.
  6. Serve alongside your favorite dippers like pretzels, veggie sticks, or potato chips.

Notes

For the best texture, I recommend shredding your own cheddar cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded cheese. Always make sure to let the dip chill for the full hour, as the flavors intensify significantly during this time.
