Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 2 cups Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt of choice
  • 22.5 tbsp ranch seasoning (or 1 packet ranch dressing mix)

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheese of choice)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon or turkey bacon (about 5 strips cooked bacon)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and ranch seasoning or ranch dressing mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the seasoning is fully incorporated.
  2. Add cheese and bacon: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked bacon, and chopped green onions until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste.
  4. Serve and garnish: Before serving, optionally top the dip with additional crumbled bacon and chopped green onions for extra texture and presentation. Pair the dip with your favorite dippers such as chips, pretzels, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
  5. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The dip will keep fresh for 3-4 days.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy-free yogurt and cheese to make the dip lactose-free or vegan.
  • For a healthier alternative, use turkey bacon or omit bacon entirely.
  • The ranch seasoning packet can be replaced with homemade ranch seasoning if preferred.
  • Adjust the quantity of ranch seasoning to taste for a milder or stronger flavor.
  • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
