It's a universal truth that everything tastes better when it's covered in ranch dressing — salad, pizza (you know you've tried it), french fries and of course those raw vegetable platters people put out at parties as a "healthy" alternative to all the potato salad. As tasty as ranch dressing is, it sort of negates your dieting efforts of eating vegetables in the first place. But here's a tasty ranch substitute that will dress up your veggies courtesy of our diet expert, Sophie Pachella, founder of Eat Strong.
Ingredients:one 5 oz container Fage Total 0% yogurt (or other 0% non-fat Greek yogurt) 1/3 package (or more, to taste) French onion soup mix Assortment of veggies such as carrots, tomatoes, celery, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, snap peas radishes and musrooms
Mix the yogurt and soup mix until well blended. Use as a dip for your veggies. This combination packs lots of lean protein — meets one of your dairy requirement for the day, and is far more satisfying due to the high protein content than veggies alone. If you have this as a midmorning snack you can knock out your vegetable quota for the day!
