Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing - 1.6g Carbs, 1.2g Sugar

Modified to make healthier.

Swap out your bottled ranch dressing for this easy and nutritious recipe! Most vegetables taste delicious dipped in a little ranch dressing. This recipe is well-loved and a popular choice by all age groups. The yogurt adds a nutritious twist with the probiotics, and the use of fresh vegetables is a great way to get more veggies into the daily diet. I use whole fat Greek yogurt but a low-fat version would work just as well. 

1 cup Greek yogurt, non fat plain
1 Tbsp organic dill, minced
2 tsp organic parsley, minced
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp celery powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste

Place all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed.
