Healthy RANCH dressing!

sarahmarieb36

I LOVE ranch dressing. i just hate that it is not very healthy. So i came across a recipe on Pinterest for a HEALTHY ranch dressing!! i made it the other day and it is DELICIOUS! (*please note that this is not MY recipe. just one i came across and thought i would share with everyone..cuz who doesnt love ranch?)

Ingredients:
1 cup Chobani Greek Yogurt PLAIN.
1 Packet hidden valley ranch mix
*1/2 cup 1% or 2% milk

whisk together all ingredients and let it sit for an hour.

*i used 1/2 cup of milk because that is what the recipe called for but i thought it was a bit too runny for my liking. so add less milk for a little thicker dressing.

nutritional info: (for the ENTIRE batch):
calories: 201 carbs: 15 fat: 2 Sodium: 155 fiber: 0 sugar: 15

also...on the website it says different calories, but im just posting what MFP said the nutritional info was when i entered all the ingredients. so it might vary from different brands and what not.

ENJOY! let me know what you think if you make it!!

I am soooo trying this!
I love ranch too! And am pretty picky about it.

This sounds yummy! =]

Also: Thanks for giving some feedback about how it turned out for you. I like 'runny' ranch with lotsa flavor! So by your description I can bet I'll like it!

If you don't have salsa on hand or don't want to buy it, Hidden Valley makes a Fiesta Ranch packet that has a kick to it. I use it in my taco soup

What purpose does the MSG serve? My son is allergic to it and gets severe migrains. Would it be okay without?

I do this all of the time. For a Ranch Veggie Dip, Omit the milk! Its a nice thick bucket of Ranchy goodness.
