HEALTHIER RANCH DRESSING
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons dried parsley, crushed
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1½ teaspoons dried dill
1½ teaspoons dried cloves
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
DIRECTIONS:
Place dry ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until well mixed, or place in a pestle and mortar and grind.
Add 1 tablespoon of blended dry ingredients to yogurt and buttermilk. Mix.
Store dressing in an airtight container in the fridge; store the excess dry blend in an airtight container.
Note: Because the calories are so low in this Healthier Ranch Dressing, the serving size of 2 tablespoons only counts as half an orange container. The dry Ranch Seasoning Blend is considered a free food.
Tip: If you don’t have buttermilk, squeeze some fresh lemon juice into some milk (it must be milk and not a milk alternative). The acidity causes the milk to curdle slightly and has a similar taste and consistency to buttermilk
Per serving: ¼ portion of seeds and dressings
