This Everything Bagel Ranch Dressing is a delightful blend of my homemade and healthy Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing with DIY Everything Bagel Seasoning. This creamy dressing or dip really pops with the familiar flavors from an Everything Bagel including garlic, dried onion, poppyseed, and sesame seeds. You can serve this as either a dressing or dip!
Everything Bagel Ranch Dressing
This Everything Bagel Ranch Dressing is so unexpected and delicious. It's the dreamy combination of my healthy Homemade Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing combined with Everything Bagel Seasoning. The savory spice blend with garlic, onion, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds pairs perfectly with the creamy ranch dressing. This is really the perfect delicious creamy dressing.
I came up with the idea after trying the new Taylor Farms Everything Salad kit which came with their version of an Everything Bagel Ranch. It was tasty... but I wanted to do better by blending my own with a healthier greek yogurt base. I even tried Tessemae's Organic Everything Bagel Ranch! There's still featured a more traditional mayonnaise base, which I knew I could make healthier too!
The end result is a crazy simple homemade dressing that is better than the package! It's based on greek yogurt and a touch of milk to thin it out. The spices start with classic ranch flavors but then I take it up an entirely different level by adding Everything Bagel Seasoning. It's truly a flavor explosion that will go great on any salad or as a dip for everything from carrots to chicken nuggets.
This dressing is naturally gluten free, vegetarian, clean eating, and OH so delish.

Ingredients:
Here's what you'll need to make my Everything Bagel Ranch.
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Plain greek yogurt is the perfect base for this healthy dressing. It's creamy, light, and has a lovely neutral flavor which pairs perfectly with the ranch and Everything Bagel Seasoning. You can any type from fat-free to full fat to fit your dietary preferences. It obviously will taste richer and creamier with a higher fat yogurt though.
- Garlic Powder: Garlic powder is a key ingredient to give the dressing a ranch flavor.
- Onion Powder: Onion powder is another key ingredient to give the dressing the ranch flavor. Instead of mincing onion, I keep it easy and use onion powder.
- Dried Dill: Dill is another flavor that stands out in ranch dressing.
- Dried Parsley: You'll also need parsley! This recipe calls for dried but you can use some fresh if you happen to have it.
- Chives: I like to use fresh chives in my homemade dressings but if you don't have any you can substitute dried or freeze-dried.
- Lemon Juice: Lemon is optional here but I like to add just a little to brighten it up.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: Make your own DIY Everything Bagel Seasoning or use store-bought.
- Milk: Milk is what thins out the greek yogurt to make it more of a dressing. Add it a little at a time until you hit your desired consistency. If you want more of a dip, add less to keep it thicker. If you want more of a dressing, add more to be able to pour or drizzle it like a dressing.
- Salt & Black Pepper: The Everything Bagel Seasoning does have a lot of salt, so be cautious about how much additional you add. You might not need any extra.
Directions:
It's really easy to make this Everything Bagel Ranch. Here are the step-by-step instructions.
- In a small bowl whisk together the greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, chives, lemon, and Everything Bagel Seasoning.
- Add the milk a few tablespoons at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add salt and pepper if desired. The Everything Bagel Seasoning already has some in it, so you might not want much.
- Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Serve it as a dressing for your favorite salad or as a dip for veggies or meats.
Variations
