Fiddle Buttermilk Ranch

Buttermilk Ranch Dressing with Heirloom Tomatoes

on Watercress Salad. It is also wonderful on Spinach

or Butter Lettuce.

With regular mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of this dressing only has 14 calories and is zero points*. If you want to reduce calories further you could use a light mayonnaise if you wish. I don't like thick dressings so this is just how I like it. It has so much more flavor than a bottled dressing. You can make it on a Sunday and use it all week. I made this for events and called it a Buttermilk Vinaigrette. But it is truly just Buttermilk Ranch and so wonderful on spinach, lettuce or all vegetables.

It takes about 5 minutes or less to make. So this isn't something that takes a lot of cooking time and it is so fresh.
