Gourmet Done Skinny Healthy Garlic Ranch Dressing
This Healthy Garlic Ranch Dressing is a close second to the Cheesecake Factory Ranch dressing but it's so much better for you! It's only 11 calories per tablespoon vs. the Cheesecake Factory's dressing of 80 calories per tablespoon. This dressing is perfect over salads, makes a great dip for artichokes, carrots and other vegetables and can also be used on a sandwich instead of mayonnaise. Feel free to make 1/2 batch if 2 cups is too much but once you taste it, you'll want it on everything!

Ingredients
- 3/4 c. green onions about 6 good sized green onions, green and white parts or chives, finely chopped
- 1/3 c. fresh parsley finely chopped
- 3-6 cloves garlic finely minced-depends on how much you like garlic
- 1 T. fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 T. truffle zest I like to use Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Zest Seasoning from Amazon you can leave it out, but it has more depth with it.
- 1/2 t. black pepper
- 1 t. kosher salt
- 1/4 t. sugar
- 1/2 T. fresh lemon juice
- 1 t. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 c. non fat Greek Yogurt - I like to use Fage
- 8 T. light mayo
- 1/2 c. low fat buttermilk
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine green onions, parsley, garlic and dill. Process until finely chopped.
- Add in remaining ingredients except buttermilk.
- Add enough buttermilk until desired consistency.
- You can serve immediately but for best results, allow to sit a few hours before using. Dressing will keep in the refrigerator up to 7 days.
Notes
You can also use chives instead of green onions. I can't always find chives so I decided to try green onions. The green onions are a little stronger, but they both taste delicious!
