Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing

I will admit that when I first saw this pin on Pinterest that I was really skeptical of how it would taste but I always like to try new things! I got out an old jar that I saved from having banana peppers one time and mixed all the ingredients together and let it chill. When it was "finished" an hour later I tasted it and was really surprised that it tasted really good! It is a little bit more tart than a lot of the bottled ranch dressings that I have tried but I like it better. It tastes like a mix between salad dressing and ranch dip.

And guess what? The ENTIRE jar has just over 270 calories and no fat. Wow.

No more buying ranch dressing for us! This is our go to from now on. I even used fat free milk instead of the 1% milk that the normal recipe called for and it still turned out perfectly well!

Just ignore the pesto and feta in my picture... I was making a variation on the pizzas that I posted yesterday. Whole wheat pita with a mix of this ranch and a little pesto for the sauce, covered in fresh spinach leaves, just a sprinkle of feta, sliced leftover grilled chicken and freshly cracked pepper - wow. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes.
