How to Make Low Fat Ranch Dressing

  1. Combine 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. If using a whisk, whisk vigorously until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Slowly add additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve chilled over your favorite crisp salad greens. Garnish with croutons or your preferred toppings.
  6. **Variation:** For a zesty twist, omit the salad herbs and add 3/4 cup chopped green onion and 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or spicy feta cheese.
