So I posted a while ago to get some alternatives to ranch dressing...and lots of people suggested making my own! Here's the one I found and love the best so far :) Thank you www.skinnytaste.com!

    You can also try Walden Farms ranch dressing (they also have buttermilk ranch, bacon ranch, chipotle ranch) And it's got ZERO calories, fat, carbs, sugar or gluten) It's something to do with the way they concentrate it way down. I have tried the bacon ranch & it's actually really good! Just make sure you refrigerate it before you try it...for some reason that makes a big difference lol!

    BTW you can get it at like Publix, Kroger, Whole Foods, etc

    Yum. Sounds great!

    I've also found that just sprinkling dry ranch powder over your foods seasons it with the flavor without many calories!

    Also, mix the powder in to nonfat Greek yogurt. It's only about 15 calories per ounce!
