{eat me} Homemade Fat Free Ranch

I cannot stand FAT FREE RANCH DRESSING.  I think it is disgusting, and I don't even know why it is marketed!!!  Well I know why, but I don't know how people can eat the stuff.  I think it is .. ugh - MOVING ON!!!

Ranch

I love to create my own, FAT FREE RANCH... and recently I've been able to create it completely from scratch!!!  Before I used to use ranch packets from the store and mix it with 1 cup of fat free sour cream (or sometimes lite) and 1 cup of fat free greek yogurt.  But now, I've read up on a couple of ranch seasoning recipes and have come to create my own ranch seasoning mix.  Let me tell you - I haven't eaten this many veggies in a while!!!

Homemade Fat Free Ranch Dressing
2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp celery salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper

6-8 ounces fat free Greek yogurt
8 ounces fat free sour cream

My parsley was a little bit chunky, so I decided to run all the herbs (parsley, dill and basil) through my spice grinder for a smoother seasoning mix.  Then I mixed in the rest of the dry seasonings (celery salt, garlic and onion powder and pepper).  In a bowl combine the Greek Yogurt and Sour Cream, add the ranch seasoning and stir.  Let set up in the fridge (if you can wait that long!)  As is – this is more like a dip; but to stretch it out and use as a dressing thin it with either skim milk or water.
