THE BEST SKINNY RANCH DRESSING (3 INGREDIENTS)



The BEST Skinny Ranch Dressing (3 ingredients) image

I'm so excited to share this 3 ingredient dressing! Your search is over...This is the most amazing, easy-to-make, gluten-free, skinny ranch dressing!!! It tastes just as good as any high-fat dressing but with a fraction of the fat and calories. In the past, I've shared my skinny ranch dressing recipe but it called for many dry ingredients. In addition, you needed xanthan gum to thicken it. I got back in the kitchen and created a new, easier, and much skinnier recipe. Each 2 tablespoons serving has just 30 calories, 2 grams of fat. So delicious as a dressing, dip, topping for potatoes, and more. The possibilities are endless. I always have some on hand in my refrigerator. It's a must-try!!!
