I was wondering that too... caloriecount gives this info... 1.2 g of sugar does not seem like it is high to me... I am sure they are getting this from the yogurt, since it has natural sugar in it.. not added sugars.
Take care,
Gloria

> Swap out your bottled ranch dressing for this easy and nutritious recipe! Most vegetables taste delicious dipped in a little ranch dressing. This recipe is well-loved and a popular choice by all age groups. The yogurt adds a nutritious twist with the probiotics, and the use of fresh vegetables is a great way to get more veggies into the daily diet. I use whole fat Greek yogurt but a low-fat version would work just as well.
