With these new Hidden Valley Ranch Greek yogurt products, making an easy and healthy dip is a breeze.
Skinny Fiesta Ranch Dip is a healthier version of the classic ranch dip with a zesty, Southwestern twist. It’s typically made with ingredients that reduce the calorie content without sacrificing flavor. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup salsa (preferably chunky)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1/4 cup black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1/4 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
Instructions:
- Mix the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Add Salsa and Lime: Stir in the salsa and lime juice. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Fold in Add-Ins: If you’re adding black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, or bell peppers, fold them into the dip gently.
- Cilantro: Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Chill: Let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Serve with fresh veggies, whole-grain crackers, or as a topping for tacos and salads.
Tips:
- Customize Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chili powder and salsa based on how spicy you want the dip.
- Make It Ahead: This dip can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Greek Yogurt Substitutes: You can use a mixture of low-fat sour cream and Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
