Healthy Recipes Healthy Sauce & Condiment Recipes Healthy Salad Dressing Recipes Homemade Ranch Dressing Be the first to rate & review! With just a few pantry staples, you can whip up a healthier homemade ranch dressing. Light mayonnaise gives the dressing body with less fat and calories than traditional versions, while buttermilk adds that signature tanginess. We like the convenience of using dried dill, but if you have fresh on hand, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill can be used in its place. We like this as a dip for veggies, but it also works well tossed with sturdy greens for salad.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
