You guys.. I think I hit the holy grail on this one.. and I am in ranch dressing heaven! I’m trying to take advantage of the new zero point foods where I can so it was on my list to make a ranch dressing with the now zero point non-fat yogurt, but I couldn’t wait and boy am I glad I didn’t. This ranch dressing is nothing short of AMAZING!! It might actually get me to eat vegetables (a big MIGHT!) You can use it as a dip, a dressing on salad or in recipes that call for ranch, the possibilities are endless with this one and I am excited to see what creations I can come up with using it. I know there are several ranch dressing out there so I wanted to make mine slightly different, I won’t lie, it has a pop of zest to it but I think you will all love it, and even more so that it is zero points on the WW.
0 Smart point ranch dressing
Ingredients
- 1 cup non fat plain greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp milk, I used 1%
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried chives
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp dill weed
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl and serve.
- Store dressing in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
- *Note- I edited this to 1/4 tsp of paprika (it was originally 1/2) some complained of a little too zesty and a pink color, this should help
Notes
Hi there – new to WW and to your site and loving it! When i added this to the WW app as a Food, using the nutritional information provided above, it came out as 1 SP. How did you get it to be 0SP? It is delicious so I’ll definitely be adding it to my menu rotation!
Hi Fiona, I am really not sure why it gave you a point value, there is no points in it, with exception to the little bit of milk which is 1SP for the whole batch, but divided into 1/4 servings it is zero points
Drizzle, I just made this, mine came out thin, not very thick
Hmmm, maybe it was your brand of yogurt? It shouldn’t be very thick but also not super runny
You have to put the ingredients into the recipe builder to get the correct number of points. The calculator does not take off for 0 point ingredients.
If you use ranch mix is it still zero?
I am not sure if there is points in the ranch mix or not sorry
My WW leader says an envelope of Ranch mix with FF Greek yogurt is 0 points. To me, it was way too salty, though. I think I could have used a lot more yogurt. Instead, the next time, I just used part of the envelope of Ranch, and it turned out very well. I’m going to make Drizzle’s recipe and compare. I have most, if not all, the spices on the list and it’s nice to use them up!
Hi Mary Beth, yeah I prefer this one over using a package but O also like playing around in the kitchen lol so I get how some like to keep it simple.. hope you enjoy my version 🙂
Are your spices different from a package of dry ranch dressing mix/dip?
Yes they are and those packages have a lot of sodium in them too
Yes, they do, and all I taste is the salt. I’m excited to try your recipe (and use it in the Buffalo dip!) Thanks SO much!
You are welcome 🙂
I tried the ranch dressing recipe and I absolutely loved it. I liked it very much on my salad and for dipping my veggies in. Didn’t think I would like it because I don’t like the yogurt, but, after adding the seasonings I was amazed at how just by adding the spices it transformed the taste of the yogurt. Delicious….This will be my go to snack for sure..???. Ty
So glad you enjoyed it Donna, I too dislike plain greek yogurt (I loved flavored though) and this ranch is my new fav for sure 🙂
Thank you thank you for this recipe and every other recipe you share that helps so many people!! YOU are an angel?
Thanks Stacey 🙂
Lol I thought she was holding the ingredients at first too. Going to be trying this! thank you!
lol.. It does look that way doesn’t it 😉
Holy moly this is flavorful! Like spoon licking flavorful! It’s a tad spicy so I may add less pepper and paprika next time, but definitely a keeper!
Yay, so glad you enjoyed it, the great thing about it is you can alter it to suit your taste buds 🙂
I just made this, Wow it is so good!!! Thank you for a real great taste Ranch Dressing that I can use in so many ways.
Hi, yay, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Question…is there any other kind of yogurt I can use since I don’t like plain yogurt?
Not for it to remain zero points sorry
Can you sub unsweetened almond milk for.the milk? Thanks
Sure 🙂
I agree with other comments “I just licked the spoon and it was yummy”! I’m taking a raw veggie & dip tray to a dinner tomorrow night. This dip is now in the fridge ready to go. Thanks so much for once again providing an easy to assemble WW friendly item.
So glad you enjoyed it and hope it was a hit at the dinner 🙂
