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 used to make a homemade ranch at our restaurant that had mayonnaise, buttermilk, parlsey (crushed very fine) and granulated garlic as the only ingredients. People loved it. I made it by the gallons so one would have to tweak the proportions but I don't see why it wouldn't work with this recipe in place of the ranch dressing mix. I'm going to give it a try. Maybe, since mayo has salt and sugar in it, a small pinch of both might be needed... Hmmm0 -
How long will the container keep in the fridge?0
-
sounds yummy
Will have to try it!
