Please be aware that this post was written prior to Weight Watchers changing to the WW Personal Points Plan! You can discover exactly how many Personal Points this recipe will be for you by clicking on the blue 'WW Personal Points' button in the recipe card below.

If you are looking for a zero point ranch dip (or low point if following the myWW Green plan) for those days when snacking is a necessity 😀 then look no further than this easy ranch dip.

To be honest, I feel pretty uncomfortable calling this 'recipe' a recipe!

It's really just mixing two ingredients together!

But I have seen so many people on social media asking for help on what quantities to use to make this ranch dip as Weight Watchers friendly as possible.

I've also noticed that there's a lot of misinformation out there! Just because the ranch dressing mix is 0 calories, 0g of saturates and 0g of sugars per serving doesn't mean it'll be 0 SmartPoints if you use stacks of the dried mix to make the dip.

So I decided to write up the recipe that I like! A ranch dip that tastes of ranch dressing but still works out at 0 SmartPoints for a quarter cup serving.

What mix should I use?

I use Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix. It works out at 2 SmartPoints if you use 20g (approx 2 level tablespoons).

There are other ranch dressing mixes available but I have only ever used the Hidden Valley brand for my zero point ranch dip recipe.

I believe that Uncle Dan's Original Sourthern Classic Ranch Dressing Mix is also a good option, but I've not worked out the SmartPoints values for that brand.

Most mixes suggest combining the seasoning with buttermilk or mayo or a mix of both to make dip. But that would be heavy on SmartPoints!

So I use 0% (fat free) Greek yogurt instead to make the dip much more Weight Watchers friendly.

You could also use 0% (fat free) plain natural yogurt if you don't like Greek yogurt but this may change the SmartPoint values slightly if you are following the Green plan.

Serving ideas

• Celery sticks
• Sweet pepper - sliced
• Carrot sticks
• Cherry tomatoes
• Good Thins - Corn crackers (3 SmartPoints for 41 pieces)
• WW Sea Salt Hummus Crisps (2 SmartPoints per bag)
• Radishes
• Sugar snap peas

SmartPoints value per serving

As I am sure that you are aware, Weight Watchers changed their program at the end of 2019. It now includes 3 individual plans, giving anyone following the WW program lots of choice about how they can use their SmartPoint allocation.

Using the official WW recipe builder I have worked out the SmartPoints for ¼ cup of this Ranch Dip for each of the plans.

• Old Freestyle plan - 0 SmartPoints per ¼ cup serving
• Blue plan - 0 SmartPoints per ¼ cup serving
• Green plan - 1 SmartPoint per ¼ cup serving
• Purple plan - 0 SmartPoints per ¼ cup serving
