Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I do too! When I worked at a bar one summer we would start the day by fixing ourselves a basket each of fried zucchini, spicy fries, and cheese fries and then dip them all in ranch.
I went years with no ranch in my life, but in the last 2 years it has crept back in.
Ranch is the yum. Fresh and Easy makes a heavily dill based ranch which rocks. So good.
yes. but the low fat stuff is an abomination. They use HFCS in order to make up for the lack of fat, so it's too sweet. and still pretty caloric.
I have the book that that list was based on, and there is some very scary stuff in it and also some surprisingly healthy alternatives. I wonder if one could make a ranch dressing with low fat greek yogurt that would taste good.
mmm, greek yogurt.

I'm sure that you could. It's the creaminess factor as much as the taste when eating the fries with the dressing.
Back in the day, the 'rents would get powdered dip mixes from Hickory Farms that you could add to whatever base you chose. Now, they were probably just sugar and salt, with some dehydrated veggies thrown in for show, but I remember really liking them.

And xantham gum for texture & mouthfeel. full body shudder
Give me ACTUAL FAT any day of the week.
I am new to boards so wanted to drop in a *wave* and toss in my thoughts on Ranch: deliciously evil heart attack in a plastic bottle that will most likely cause my partner to die before me due to his addiction. Still, when I do break down and eat it I stick to the real thing. Low fat food is even more evil than Ranch!

I was just about to say that Fage nonfat is really thick and creamy and IMO makes a good sour cream substitute. I would think that some ranch dressing powder mixed in wouldn't be that bad for you.
