I have tried making seasoning mixes to rcreate ranch dressing and while they do in a pinch... So I just stick to the packets and use fat free yogurt for the mayo and fat free buttermilk for the milk.

You could splurge wth 1/4 cup and have less than 40 cal and a little more than 300 mg of sodium and no fat.
