Description

There aren’t many things that don’t go with ranch dressing. For many kids (and some grownups), it makes eating vegetables possible. So why settle for a preservative-laden store-bought version when it is so easy to make your own? Those versions can contain up to 16 grams of fat per serving!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Low-fat Buttermilk
  • ½ cups Light Sour Cream
  • ¼ cups Champagne Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Chives
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Dill
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Celery Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Celery Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Parsley Chopped Finely
  • ¼ teaspoons Fresh Thyme, Chopped
  • ¼ teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Rosemary, Chopped

Preparation

Whisk together all ingredients in a large glass container. Refrigerate until serving. Will keep for about 1 week sealed in the refrigerator.

Made this for my family – did not go over well. Too watery.

Yes! I found mine at my local grocer. And if I can find it in Montana, anybody can find it!

This looks great. I have never heard of champagne vinegar, is it fairly easy to find?

Very fresh tasting. I will add more sour cream next time to thicken. Enjoyed.

This was super good! I’m counting the calories these days but veggies and me have a love hate relationship. I made this last night to dip my veggies in and for salads and its yummy! I added just a tad more sour cream to make it a bit thicker but other than that, it’s a home run!
