Best Low-Cal Homemade Ranch Dressing

This homemade Ranch Dressing is delicious, versatile, and low-fat. We use it as a sauce as well as a dressing. It's great on vegetables as well as on salads.
     You can buy the dried herbs in the bulk, or if you have a abundance of a fresh herb like parsley, you can dry them in the microwave and shred them in a coffee grinder, and keep them in an air-tight jar until needed.
