Homemade Ranch Dressing



Recommended Posts

I don't know about you but I hate trying to eat dry salad but what I hate even more is consuming nearly 200 calories in some cases for 2 Tlbs. of ranch dressing so I did some searching and found a recipe that is really yummy and pretty much guilt free compared to the alternative so I thought I would share my find for homemade Ranch Dressing:

1 cup of Okios PLAIN Non-Fat Greek Yogurt- 120 cal

1/2 cup Lite Real Mayo- 280 cal (based on hellman's)

approx. 1/4 cup skim milk (thin to your desired consistency) 20 cal

5-6 springs of fresh dill chopped

1 clove finely minced garlic

1 green onion chopped

Mix the yogurt and mayo together then stir in the onion, garlic and dill. This consistency is too thick for me for dressing so I thin mine out using approx. 1/4 cup of skim milk or until I reach that middle consistency I like. Salt and pepper to taste.

This fills a large mason jar about 3/4 of full and if my calculations are correct the ENTIRE jar is only 420 cal. which is nearly equal to 4 tlbs. of the regular stuff and to me this tastes really good. Give it a try.

I still do the lemon juice, Vinegar & pepper to my taste , But there is a no calorie Ranch dressing I tried didn't like it & had to mix the vinegar & lemon juice to like the taste but your recipe sounds good.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
