Chive & Yogurt Ranch Dressing

Name: Chive & Yogurt Ranch Dressing
Ingredients: 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, nonfat; 1.5 tbsp lemon juice; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp chives; 1 tbsp dill; 0.5 tsp garlic powder; 0.5 tsp onion powder; salt to taste; pepper to taste; 0.25 cup red wine vinegar or water, to thin out

Bottled dressings are typically not MIND Diet friendly, because they use oils other than olive oil. Making your own dressing is the answer. This ranch is fresh, tangy, and made with simple ingredients like Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon, and garden-fresh herbs. I keep a jar of it in the fridge all week—it’s perfect on chopped salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for crunchy veggies. Plus, it fits right in with the MIND Diet thanks to its brain-healthy ingredients and balanced flavor.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Greek yogurt, nonfat
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chives
1 tbsp dill
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/4 cup red wine vinegar, or water, to thin out

Instructions

Whisk everything together or blend for extra smoothness. Chill 10+ minutes to let flavors meld.
