meggie Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I haven't tried it, but what about this one? http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2011/12/01/recipe-ranch-flavored-dip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I like Mayo with sugar. Probably not what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Of all the things to love, ranch dressing probably isn't bad. I mean, you could chug a bottle of it, and still drive safely...assuming you didn't throw the heck up. Your kids won't find you passed out on the couch w/the floor littered w/salad dressing bottles. If you find yourself filling the tub w/it, yeah, ok, time for an intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Oh yeah! I'll see your Ranch dressing and raise you square cheese (aka, Kraft American Singles)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ree's home made ranch recipe is AWESOME. Ina Garten has a great one, too, but she uses basil and I covet my basil for pesto, not ranch. I found the power of home made ranch dressing when my chives got uncontrollable and I had to USE them. Just give it to me in a bowl...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkins_mama Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 If you puree a tub of cottage cheese and use it for a base, you can add your own spices and make a ranch that is healthy and yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlpardo Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Bolthouse Farms has a really tasty and healthier ranch. I have found it in the refrigerated section by the bagged salad at the store. http://bolthouse.com/our-products/yogurt-dressings/classic-ranch/detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also make my own with greek yogurt, instead of mayonaise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
