I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT RANCH-LOW FAT RANCH DRESSING
My family and I are trying to be more health conscious these days and eat meals with less fat. I wanted to create a Ranch dressing that was healthy but still had the awesome Ranch taste that we all love. When I made this for the first time I served it on salad and didn't tell my DH and kids. I told them at the end that it was a homemade lowfat Ranch and they couldnt' believe it. This dressing has so little to no fat you won't have any guilt eating it.

- To make the dressing even thicker, use less buttermilk or milk. You can also add a tablespoon or two of Greek yogurt for a thicker consistency.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a tangier dressing, use more lemon juice or vinegar. You can also add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for an extra kick.
