Fantastic and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is SOOO good. I've been using this recipe for a couple of years now and it tastes way too good to be healthy. Good as a... dip also- use a little less buttermilk. I put dill in it as well. Awesome.Read more

Excellent low-fat ranch
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a wonderful lowfat ranch and I couldn't even use the buttermilk (which I know would have made it even better!)... because of a diet I'm on that restricts me from using hardly any carbs. I even made it with Walden Farms Mayo which has 0 cal, 0 carbs & 0 fat & this dressing has been a lifesaver for my husband and I. I can't wait to get off my diet and use low-fat mayo and buttermilk to make this! I also added dried chives and dried dill. I think anyone who doesn't like this recipe is lying and for some reason trying to ruin Ellie's review average, which is unfortunate, because If mine turned out great , given my restrictions, I just can't believe yours doesn't taste good. Also, lemons can vary greatly in sourness and if you don't buy greek yogurt, you're going to have to put the regular yogurt in a strainer and let it sit in the fridge over a bowl for a couple of hours to let it thicken - so don't blame Ellie for your mistakes!Read more

Still too runny
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I made a double batch of the dressing because of all the rave reviews on here- I'm not picky with dressings, but I really... didn't like it. Too much mustard and too much tang between the lemon, buttermilk and yogurt. I tossed my batch out.Read more

Unbelieveable!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Kudos to Ellie for another awesome recipe. I could not believe how much better this tasted than bottled ranch dressing, plus... less fat and no preservatives. I followed recipe as is except I added some dill and parsley. Again awesome!!!Read more

Tastes as good as the big chain restaurant's Ranch dressing!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this low-cal Ranch dressing! It's so delicious that I will never buy bottled dressing again! And it is easy to make... too. I've learned to triple the receipe so I have plenty on hand.Read more
