Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Recipes

Primal friendly (FULL FAT) ranch dressing preparation. This is also a great option for those who are living a gluten free or low carb lifestyle.

This is NOT made with Greek yogurt. I tried that and I did not like it so I came up with a better solution for getting my ranch fix without the fat, but with ALL the flavor. It really is quite bland if you don't add the lemon juice, but go easy because too much and you can lose the flavor of the ranch.

Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix with skim milk and whole fat mayonnaise

There is nothing like Hidden Valley Ranch on a crisp bed of lettuce and other awesome veggies...But it's so high in fat calling for a whole cup of mayonnaise! This version keeps 1/4 cup of full fat mayo while substituting the bulk of the dressing for 2% Greek yogurt. It's not fat free, but it is a much lighter alternative for not sacrificing much of the creamy aspect a Ranch dressing should have. I hope you enjoy!

Make ahead and has less calories and sugar than the bottled HV Ranch dressing.

This is made from the Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix

This tastes just like the original Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, only without any fat and some protein added in. I also use it as a dip. A 2 Tablespoon serving is under 20 calories!

Homemade Light Dressing

Made a little lighter than the regular Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix calls for, but then I add blue cheese, so it's not really light anymore :-) . After it sits in the fridge overnight, it is the best Blue Cheese dressing ever. If you don't add the blue cheese, it is still a lighter version of a great Ranch dressing.

My absolute favorite thing to eat on vegetables is Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing made with Best Food mayo (and not the light stuff.) This makes two tablespoons 14 grams of fat and completely defeats the purpose of eating the vegetables. I have searched everywhere for a great low-fat ranch dressing recipe and they have all left me flat,(well, actually, rather round.) Until I discovered Greek Yogurt! Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

One Serving is 2 Tablespoons

I love THICK ranch salad dressing, and ONLY Hidden Valley made from scratch will fill the bill. I add an extra tsp of powder to their standard recipe.
