Light Ranch Dressing

Light Ranch Dressing

Everyday

Light ranch dressing is a lower-calorie version of the classic American condiment, formulated with reduced fat content through substitutions like low-fat buttermilk, yogurt, or alternative bases. While maintaining the characteristic herbal tang of garlic, dill, and parsley, this dressing often incorporates thickeners to mimic the creamy texture of traditional ranch. It provides 50-70% fewer calories than regular varieties but may contain higher sodium levels in some commercial formulations.
