Skip the extra calories with this homemade skinny ranch dressing recipe that is made with a homemade mix and less calorie bases!
Skinny Ranch Dressing
I love Pizza. Like a LOOOOOOVVVEEEE Pizza. I could eat it almost every day. My husband teases me all that time that I am the only adult he knows that loves pizza more than kid. It has all the best ingredients in one place. Bread? Check. Cheese? Check? Awesome toppings? Double check! The only thing that makes pizza better is dipping it in ranch dressing.
Recently, I have been trying to avoid dipping my pizza in ranch to avoid the extra calories. Instead of skipping out on my favorite dressing, I decided to make a skinnier version of it at home and it turned out amazing!

I truly love pizza. I am pretty sure it has been a part of every birthday that I have had since I was a little one. Brick Oven style, thin crust. It is all delicious! We have pizza at least once a week in our house and when we eat it at home, we prefer Red Baron Brick Oven style. I even made it for my mom and sister this last week and they were truly impressed with the cheese pizza. It is really good and not just for a frozen pizza.
I love to keep some in my freezer at all times so I have a quick meal if I need it. Pair that with the ranch mix I keep in my fridge and you have a fast and delicious meal!
Do you dip your pizza?
Masshole Mommy says
OMG I dip my pizza in ranch, too, and everyone always tells me I'm weird for doing it. Glad to hear I am not alone.

I'm not a huge ranch fan, but I dip way too many foods in Honey Mustard sauce, so I understand the dipping appeal.
April Ockerman says
Ranch and pizza have always gone hand in hand since I was a kid too. I love your recipe for skinny ranch!!

I had no idea ranch could even be homemade. We go through it like crazy here- can't wait to try making my own!

I so need to try this as we go through A LOT of ranch dressing in our house & a light version would help!

My son loves ranch on everything. When he was little he dipped strawberries in it. I love that this is a healthy version of a common favorite dressing.
Veronica Pototska says
It looks so delicious and easy to follow! I would love to follow your recipe and make this dressing sometime soon! Thank you for sharing
Heather says
Well that is an awesome idea! The buttermilk powder – I haven't ever used that, but seeing the container, my mom always had it around! I love to make homemade ranch, but mine is decidedly unhealthy, I am definitely giving this a try!
Shelly @ Behind Blue Eyes says
I have never been a fan of ranch. As a kid I never liked it and now as an adult I still don't like ranch. I do like to dip my pizza in blue cheese dressing though.

Thanks for the recipe! I live in India and cannot get buttermilk powder. Do you have any ideas for a substitute? Would regular milk powder work?
