Low-Fat Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
Oh, ranch dressing, how I love thee! Perfect for salad, dipping veggies, pizza crust. So good, you could bathe in it. Ok, wait…no, that’s gross. Maybe chocolate, but I’m not sure I love ranch dressing that much…
ANYWAY…As much as I love ranch dressing, I have found that I hate pretty much all bottled ranch dressings. I feel like I have tried every brand in existence and I just can’t find one that I like enough to finish or buy again. And don’t even get me started on low-fat ranch dressings. Most of them are just horrid and have a weird chemically taste to me. Blech!
If I would have known earlier that it was so easy to make my own ranch dressing AND that it would actually taste good, I would have saved myself a lot of money! And best of all, it’s also low in fat! This recipe makes a good amount of dressing too so you can keep a bottle stashed in your fridge to have your own low-fat buttermilk ranch dressing whenever you want!

I love making my own dressings! Can’t wait to try this healthier version of ranch!
Looks delish! I’m not a huge fan of ranch, but my hubby LOVES it! Great photos, the colors scream SPRING :)
I really need to try making my own ranch dressing. I don’t typically like the bottled stuff either (and totally agree with you on the low-fat kinds you can buy – yuck!). And this looks so simple!
I love making homemade dressings too and this one sounds delightful! YUM!
I can’t stand bottled dressings! Can’t wait to make this and slather it on everything!
i always make homemade dressings at home, Stephanie! Usually it’s a vinaigrette of sorts but now I think I need to change the game. bottled dressings are usually so salty. I am SO on board with this recipe!
I love ranch so MUCH i want to drink it. I have to do this!!
Oh ranch! I could drink that stuff
I love ranch dressing too… I dip my pizza, french fries..anything in it. :) I like that you used mostly dried ingredients for this one so it’s easy to make.
I have a love hate with ranch. I love it a little TOO much, and then my jeans wont button. thanks for a lighter version!
I definitely love everything Low-Fat! yay. this is good for health conscious people.
Must try.
Oooh sounds wonderful!
Thank you, Julie!
So random… I just posted a ranch mix recipe! I haven’t tried making it into actual ranch dressing yet. I wouldn’t have thought to add the balsamic vinegar. Thanks for the recipe. :)
