Does anyone on here like ranch dressing as much as I do? Before I started on here, I would put it on EVERYTHING.. And it's so bad for you!! I found an awesome recipe for some homemade ranch and it is really good and so easy to make! You only need 3 ingredients and a canning jar or some other kind of container with a lid. Just whisk the following ingredients together:


1 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup 1% milk (A little less if you like a thicker consistency)
1 packet Hidden Valley ranch mix (They have different flavored ones, too!)

And BAM! You have some tasty ranch dressing for a fraction of the calories!

Note: If you don't like the tangy-ness of greek yogurt, you might not like it, because, well... it's mostly greek yogurt. I'd suggest giving it a try though!

    I am going to try this too. I cut out salad dressing and I know I will start missing them soon!

    Did you add this to the food database?

    You could even use unsweetened almond milk for even less calories!

    the only problem I have with this is the powdered ranch mix stuff is packed with ridiculous amounts of sodium.
