High Protein Buffalo Ranch sauce

If you're trying to eat healthier, build strength, or lose belly fat without sacrificing flavour, this homemade Buffalo Ranch Dressing deserves a permanent place in your fridge.

Unlike many supermarket dressings that are loaded with oils, sugars and unnecessary calories, this version uses protein-rich Greek yoghurt as the base.

The result is a creamy, tangy dressing packed with flavour that works brilliantly as a dip, salad dressing, wrap sauce or accompaniment to grilled chicken.

For anyone following a fitness-focused lifestyle, this is the kind of simple swap that makes a real difference over time.

Ingredients
Base
•280g fat-free Greek yoghurt
•60g light mayonnaise
Flavour
•30g zero-calorie buffalo sauce (such as Frank's RedHot Buffalo)
•1 tbsp white vinegar
•1 tbsp lemon juice
Herbs
•1 tsp dried dill
•1 tsp dried parsley
•1 tsp dried chives
Seasonings
•¼ tsp garlic powder
•¼ tsp onion powder
•¼ tsp ranch seasoning (optional)
•Salt and black pepper to taste
To Thin
•2 tbsp milk (add more if required)

Method
1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl or large jar.
2. Stir or shake thoroughly until smooth.
3. Add the milk gradually until you reach your preferred consistency.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
5. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to develop.

Make It Even Healthier
For an even better protein-to-calorie ratio:
•Increase the Greek yoghurt to 300g
•Reduce the mayonnaise to 1 tablespoon

You'll keep most of the creamy texture while cutting calories and increasing protein.

This Buffalo Ranch sauce works especially well with:
•Grilled chicken breast
•Air-fried chicken strips
•Homemade wraps
•Fresh salads
•Potato wedges
•Raw vegetables
