Introduction

I've been so disappointed with store bought light ranch and decided to make a homemade version. I played around with many recipes until I came up with something I liked. I'll never buy ranch again!

    Incredible!
    This has become a personal favorite!!! I have searched a lot for a lowfat Ranch that I like, and I think this is it! My only change is to reduce sodium with Morton Lite salt. - 3/17/15
