Ranch is definitely my favorite condiment! I love it on burgers, fries, onion rings, grilled cheese sandwiches, veggies, salad, oh the list just goes on and on!
And with this Skinny Buttermilk Ranch Dressing I know I’ll save a few calories and get some added nutrition.
It’s the best of both worlds!
Yogurt as an ingredient
I love that you can use yogurt in place of mayonnaise or sour cream to save a few calories and add some nutrition to your day.
Take a look at another super cool creative way to use yogurt: delicious Cherry Yoghurt Cloud Pie with Granola Crust.
Yum!
This Ranch recipe is simple and delicious, and your family is sure to love it!

I, too, love ranch dressing and I try not to have it too often because it is fattening. Well, now I know what to do to put it back in my diet. I love how you presented it on top of the tomatoes.

I love ranch and if it is skinny even better!
Rini
I love the buttermilk ranch recipe. Looks so easy to make and much more appealing than store bought ranch. I have to say that the tomatoes are what caught my eye.
