The Carbs in Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix
I don’t think I have to convince you that it is healthier to make your own mixes with basic ingredients but if you are watching your carbs, there is another reason–a big one.
Compare this nutrition label of Hidden Valley Ranch packet at 16 carbs per pack with this homemade at 4 carbs per “pack”. That is QUITE a difference!
No, we don’t eat the whole pack but every savings that big counts!
