    My friend told me mixing ranch seasoning into greek yogurt makes a great veggie dip. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm inclined to believe it...

    Great with buffalo wings, too!

    Thank you! Another good one is Kraft Fat Free or Calorie Wise. The Fat Free is 50 calories for 2 Tbsps and the Calorie Wise is 70 calories for 2 Tbsps and 5 grams of fat.

    I'm also a ranch lover, and I now only buy Bolthouse Farms Classic Ranch Yogurt Dressing.
    I find it to be even more wonderful than Hidden Valley-- nicer texture and more flavor!!

    Nutrition Facts for 2 Tablespoons:
    45 calories (30 from fat)
    3g fat
    0.5 saturated fat
    5mg cholesterol
    270mg sodium
    3g carbohydrates
    0 fiber
    2g sugar
    1g protein

    This!!!! I love the Bolthouse yogurt dressing (Bolthouse honey mustard is amazing too)!

    You can also mix it with plain yogurt - same taste, fewer calories!

    I use greek yogurt for onion dip too, works great! Plain greek yogurt mixed with a packet of onion soup

    Make your own..easy and very low cal...here ya go: I made this without the freeze dried chives and it was still very good!

    2 T Mrs. Dash Original
    1 C Light Sour Cream
    1/2 C Non Fat Plain Yogurt
    1/4 C Light Mayo (I use Miracle Whip Light Salad Dressing)
    2 t Sugar
    3 t Wine Vinegar
    3 T Freeze-Dried Chives

    Mix everything in a bowl. It makes 1 3/4 C. I put in that it makes 28 servings of 1 T each. Per tablespoon: Calories 18, Fiber 0, Fat 1, Protein 1, Calcium 2, Sodium 29

    I use Kefir Yogurt Cheese in place of Sour Cream quite a bit. Use it to make Dill Dressing, on baked potatoes, in smoothies and horseradish sauce. If I have Sour Cream I might use just a bit of it to cut calories.

    Hate to be a real Debbie Downer but HVR contains MSG (monosodim glutamate) which triggers your taste buds causing them to salivate thereby sending a signal to your brain. Your brain's response is that your mouth is watering so it must be good and you eat more.

    There is a book "In Good Taste, the MSG Syndrome" by Dr. Robert Swartz that is quite alarming about the effects of MSG on our bodies.

    I know a ranch dressing that only has 15 CALORIES per 2 TABLESPOONS! :D

    12 oz (1 package) silken-firm or lite silken-firm tofu (such as Mori-Nu)
    3/4 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder
    1 tsp dry dill
    1/3 cup water, or more or less depending on desired thickness (I use 100g)
    scant 2T apple-cider vinegar
    1 and 1/2 vegetable broth cubes (I use Rapunzel brand. You can use more or less, depending on desired saltiness.)
    2 T low-fat Veganaise (or regular) (If you leave this out, you’ll still have a nice dressing, but it won’t be nearly as yummy!)

    Combine all ingredients, and blend until creamy. (I use a Magic Bullet.)

    I love ranch, and I even use it as a salad dressing and as a dip for my veggies.
