[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing - 1.6g Carbs, 1.2g Sugar

 

Celery powder is ground up celery seeds. I prefer it to whole seeds... it has a better flavor. If you have a spice grinder/coffee mill, you can grind the seeds in it.

I omitted the celery salt since I wanted this to be low sodium. Use it if it works for you.

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.
