I love summer time!
It is all about family fun and spending time with friends. When we get together during the summer my go-to entertaining food is a big BBQ and a vegetable tray to snack on while we wait for everything to cook. I also always buy way too much food… I have a huge (irrational) fear of not having enough food. It’s never actually happened, or even come close to happening, but I still worry about it!
The one thing that I always end up having way too much of is veggies from the vegetable tray. That abundance of food inspired me to created this salad. My vegetable tray salad with Greek yogurt ranch dip.
To make this super easy salad I take the vegetable tray leftovers and I chop up all the veggies and add the dip as a dressing. It’s so easy and delish… plus it makes a great side dish!
Of course you can also make this salad just because… no party necessary!
I did just that yesterday. I headed to Walmart and bought Hidden Valley Greek Yogurt Dip Mix, some of our favorite vegetables and greek yogurt. I found the Greek dip mix with the regular one in the powdered mix area.
Hidden Valley Greek Yogurt Dip Mixes are new formulas specifically optimized to deliver the same great Hidden Valley Ranch taste and flavor when mixed with Greek Yogurt! Hidden Valley Greek Yogurt Dip Mixes are both available at Walmart and the new formula provides the same great Ranch flavor with less fat, more protein and lower calories.
Then I headed home and started chopping!
Quick tip… toss the salad very well and then refrigerate it. The dip spreads well on the veggies when it’s not right out of the refrigerator… but once it’s spread on the veggies put it right back in the refrigerator until it is ready to eat.
Everytime I make this I’m always asked for the recipe and I just smile because I know how much they are going to love how great it tastes and how easy it is to make!

What a cleaver way to display a veggie tray then to make it into a salad and I love how it looks in the clear bowl. love this idea!
That is seriously the most beautiful salad I’ve ever seen. This makes me want to go make a nice bowl of rabbit food! =D
You make your salads, like I do. No, not in such a fancy dish. I’m talking about how chunky the veggies are. That’s how I like mine.
I can’t wait to try the new greek yogurt dips. I’ve used their ranch dressing in the past and loved it.
Oh now that is the salad I should be serving with Dinner tonight! It looks delicious and so fresh for summer!
I love ranch dip on salads, as a dip for pizza and veggies as well as chips. I also make my own veggie dip which tastes similar to Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. So good!
This looks yummy! I’ll be dishing this up at my next barbeque.
Wow! This is an awesome vegetable tray. Very fancy!
I could literally dig right into this! I love using Ranch on my veggies.
I eat a ton of salad so changing up the dressings to keep things exciting are an absolute must. Since ranch is my all time favorite, discovering a way to lighten things up a bit is great!

This sounds like a great way to make ranch dip. I had no idea that Hidden Valley made a Greek Yogurt dip packet like this now.
I am lucky that my kids are not too picky with their veggies, that is of course as long as there is ranch dip! 😉 I love hearing my six year old say he loves broccoli.
This looks so delicious. I love to dip my veggies in ranch dip.
This looks fantastic! I’m definitely bookmarking this for our next BBQ.

What a great way to serve up salad. It looks really good.
My fahter makes a layered salad very similar to this every Thanksgiving and it is always such a hit. Personally, I think Hidden Valley Ranch makes anything amazing!
Finding the veggie tray at a party helps keep me from eating too much junk. If there’s not going to be one available, I like to bring one. Can’t wait to bring it in salad form.
Wow, that salad looks so colorful and delicious. Now I’m hungry!
That looks amazing and it would be perfect for summer get together’s and cookouts! I can’t wait to make it!

This is such a great idea for backyard barbecues and get togethers. Saves space and time while still giving guests all the options of a veggie tray without them missing anything. Love this!
