Love ranch dressing and was searching for a healthier alternative - found this one yesterday on Clean Eating, haven't tried it yet, but was going to make it tomorrow.

Clean Eating Ranch Dressing
(Makes approximately 8 tbsp.)
5 tbsp. low-fat buttermilk
3 tbsp. non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. dried dill
1/2 ts. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. dried chives
1/2 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1 – Using a whisk, mix all ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and evenly blended.

Note: I doubled the recipe. I suggest doubling every ingredient except the dill. Just use one portion of dill.

Eat and Enjoy!

Thanks for some of the suggestions! I love ranch dressing with so many things. Before I started this journey, I was eating a lot of it with everything. Now, I just use it with salads. Even then I have been using the low fat buttermilk ranch dressing. It is very good.

Thanks, I'll try this!!

This sounds good too. Or, you can take these spices and add it to the greek/milk combination suggested initially an avoid MSG and tones of salt. Thanks everyone!
