Cottage cheese blended in a food processor to a creamy texture, while not traditional in ranch dressing, delivers unbelievable richness with minimal calories and fat.

This dressing has changed my life I've been searching for a healthier version of my favorite restaurants ranch dressing. All the lowfat brands at the stores are bland and fake tasting. With the addition of 1/2 a clove of garlic this is a close replica with a fraction of the calories and fat. Buttermilk powder is also useful in baking so worth keeping on hand. Pros: Great creamy flavor, thick rich texture Cons: Cost if you don't have ingredients on hand
