Ingredients
For the ranch dressing: (makes 2 cup)
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning
- 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup reduced fat milk
For the salad:
- 6 oz. bag of spring mix salad
- 1 cup baby tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cucumber (sliced in half moons)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Instructions
- Add the ranch seasoning, Greek yogurt and ¼ cup milk to a bowl or mason jar. Stir or shake until smooth. For a thinner dressing, add more milk 1 Tbsp. at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Set aside while you make the salad.
- Add the spring mix, tomatoes, cucumber and carrots to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- Divide the salad evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with 1–2 Tbsp. ranch dressing and enjoy!
Notes
- Have leftover ranch? This recipe makes about 2 cups. Store extra dressing covered in the fridge and use within 5–7 days.
- Make it a meal! Add grilled chicken, extra veggies and avocado.
- Turn the ranch into a veggie dip! Leave out the milk for a thicker, creamier ranch that’s perfect for dipping fresh veggies.
