    What makes this skinny?

    We left out the cream cheese and used light sour cream. Fat free sour cream is another option to reduce the calories and fat further.

    Instead of adding prepared ranch dressing which would include more fat and calories, a packet of ranch seasoning is used.

    The original version has 50 calories per 2-tablespoon serving with 4 grams of fat and ours is 33 calories and 2 grams of fat for the same size. The original version includes actual breadcrumbs and multiple additives and artificial ingredients which ours does not.

    Recipe Ingredients Notes

    Light sour cream. We substituted light sour cream instead of full fat sour cream.

    Dill pickles and dill pickle juice. You'll need 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles and ¼ cup of juice which you can take from the jar of dill pickles.

    Granulated garlic. This is a courser grind of garlic powder. If needed garlic powder can be substituted.

    Granulated onion. This is a courser grind of onion powder. If needed onion powder can be substituted.

    Packet of ranch seasoning mix. You'll use a 1 ounce packet.

    Fresh herbs. Minced fresh dill and Italian parsley give a wonderful fresh flavor.

    Notes

    Note on serving size
    For dips a standard serving size is typically 2 tablespoons. This is mainly to calculate the nutritional information. If tracking your calories, macros or WW Personal Points, adjust the serving size to match how much you eat!
    Chilling the dip
    The dip can be eaten as soon as it is made but allowing it to chill before serving lets the flavors blend and makes it thicker!
    How to Store
    Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
