Today I went running and when I got back I wanted something lighter - like a salad - but hearty too. So I wanted a salad with RANCH. I have no idea why ranch seems heartier to me but that's what I wanted so I wanted to find a way to make it happen without eating a million points. Since I also really like southwestern dressings, I found a good compromise. Rather than adding milk to my Ranch dressing powder, I added reduced fat sour cream and some homemade salsa. It added the liquidity that I needed from the salsa and the creaminess from the sour cream.
If you don't want to make any salsa then you can use any jarred variety. I would suggest pureeing it first though so that your salad dressing is smooth, not chunky.
Southwestern Ranch Dressing
2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Ranch dressing powder
1/4 cup salsa - depending on how spicy you want it
Mix together all the ingredients and let sit about 5 minutes. Serve over any salad or fresh veggies for a low fat snack.
