I am sure that most of you veteran MFP's know this one, but I thought I would share anyhow. I love Ranch dressing, so it was a big step for me to even buy the "light" dressing... but I did. Then I was trying to figure out how 2-TBSP of dressing was going to be enough for 2 heaping cups of salad mix.... I started thinking about the weird combos of food my mom would always come up with and I thought... Hmmm wonder what it would be like to mix salsa with ranch? It was great! I mixed 2-TBSP of dressing (70 cal)with 2-TBSP(10 cal) of salsa and had plenty to mix with my salad.

    I had actually never heard of that or even thought of it, so thank you for the suggestion. It's great! I'm going to try it.

    I always do this! I had a salad recipie once that used it and have done it on regular salads ever since. It is really good on wraps too, instead of mayo.

    Salsa/ ranch is delicious. That's what comes with the Dole Southwest Salad Kit, I believe.

    Hmmm....that sounds like an interesting mix!

    Making your own ranch at home using the dry mix works pretty awesome too. It tastes WAY better than any bottled ranch and you can control what milk and what mayo goes into it.

    Someone else gave the idea of mixing the dry ranch mix in with Fage which I thought sounded pretty awesome as well. I can't wait to try that!

    I use salsa as dressing all the time. i like ranch too but have strayed away from it due to healthier alternatives. adding a little ranch to my salsa dressing sounds really good though! i will probably use this on wraps and sandwiches too. thanks!
