I love the dry ranch seasoning packet mixes at the store. They are so convenient and I wanted to make them myself at home. That’s probably what the major Ranch dressing companies like Kraft do anyway right? They have a container of the dry ingredients on hand and mix it with all the wet ingredients, then package them up.
Make this ranch dressing to make these great other recipes with One Pot Ranch Chicken Pasta, Veggie Ranch Pizza, or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.

Ingredients for Ranch Dressing
- Milk - I used unsweetened almond milk to keep the points low but any type of milk will work. Just adjust the points in the recipe builder.
- Greek Yogurt - Non-Fat, plain
- Mayonnaise - Low Fator reduced fat
- Dry Buttermilk - can be found next to the powdered milk usually in the baking aisle
- Dried parsley Parsley is a type of herb that is commonly used as a garnish or seasoning in various dishes. It has a bright green color and a mild, slightly bitter taste. Parsley is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as potassium and iron.
- Dill is known for its distinctive flavor, which is somewhat tangy and reminiscent of licorice
- Dried chives are a versatile and flavorful herb that can be used in a variety of dishes. Chives are a member of the onion family and have a mild, onion-like flavor. When dried, chives can be stored for a long time and still retain their flavor.Garlic powder is made from dehydrated garlic cloves and like the chili powder above it gets pulverized into a powder or flour consistency.
- Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. Some people do not like the taste of freshly chopped onion so onion powder is a great substitute if you have a picky eater like that in your house.
- Salt and Black pepper

I don't get what you mean when you say that. The recipe states 1/2 cup mayo. Not 1/4 cup.
Angel says
It didn’t specify the amount of reduced fat just says 1/2 reduced fat. Then in ww recipe she has 1/4 so I did it wrong. Also reduced fat is different from light Mayo which I also messed up so mine will be 2 pts. It’s delicious though. But again low fat and light are different.
Mayonnaise: Hellmann's Real mayonnaise v Hellmann's Lighter than Light mayonnaise. The difference: there's 79% fat in normal mayo (of which 6.6% is saturates) and just 3% in Lighter than Light mayo (of which 0.5% saturates)… a huge differen
Jenna says
Sometimes I will call light mayo reduced fat mayo like it says in the recipe. It's 1/2 cup.
Sarah says
I don't see how much light mayo to use. Thanks!
Jenna says
2 oz is 1/4 cup
1/4 cup is 4 tablespoons
Easy to look up as well 😉
