Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup low-sodium BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tablespoon water (if needed for consistency)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and low-sodium BBQ sauce. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

Step 2

Add the apple cider vinegar to the bowl and mix thoroughly, helping to create a tangy base for the dressing.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, black pepper, and salt. Use a whisk to integrate the spices evenly into the yogurt mixture.

Step 4

If using, fold in the chopped fresh cilantro to give the dressing an extra pop of freshness.

Step 5

Check the consistency of the dressing. If it's too thick for your preference, slowly add the water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust any of the seasonings to your liking.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Enjoy this heart-healthy BBQ ranch dressing drizzled over salads, or use it as a dip for veggies or a sauce for wraps.
