How long does homemade low-sodium ranch dressing last in the fridge?

It stays fresh for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Always give it a stir before serving.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?

Yes! Greek yogurt works perfectly and adds extra protein, plus it makes the dressing a little tangier and lighter.

What makes this ranch dressing low-sodium?

This recipe uses no added salt and relies on fresh herbs, spices, and low-sodium Worcestershire sauce for flavor. The only sodium comes from the natural content of ingredients like dairy and Worcestershire.

Can I make this dressing dairy-free?

Absolutely. Just use a plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt (like coconut or almond) and a plant-based milk to keep it creamy and delicious.

How can I make the dressing thicker or thinner?

For a thicker dip, omit the milk. For a thinner, pourable dressing, add more milk or a splash of extra apple cider vinegar until you reach your desired consistency.

Is there a substitute for low-sodium Worcestershire sauce?

If you can’t find low-sodium Worcestershire, use regular but reduce the quantity, or try a splash of coconut aminos or homemade low-sodium Worcestershire alternative.

Can I add other herbs or spices to customize the flavor?

Definitely! Try adding basil, tarragon, or even a pinch of smoked paprika for your own twist on classic ranch.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Yes, but use about one-third the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor. The dressing will still taste great!
