Question

I am a ranch and bbq fanatic. Actually, let me be real I’m a sauce fanatic  I have a major problem with not being able to eat things bland, like anything. meat, veggies, carbs, you name it I dip it lol. I hate ketchup which seems to be what everyone’s recommended for me as a lower calorie sauce. I’ve tried the skinny girl ranch and it tasted almost sour to me (could be because I’m so used to full fat locally made ranch lol). Any other substitutions for sauces y’all know of that actually taste like a dipping sauce and not a watered down salad dressing? Especially ranch and bbq!  

Answer 1

This ranch seasoning is yummy sprinkled on Salad. If you really like your favourite Ranch & BBQ use them just extend them. You can add water, milk or yoghurt to your Ranch and to your BBQ add water or maybe a little vinegar & ketchup so you can keep the flavour you love.  

Answer 2

G Hughes is AMAZING! 0POINTS FOR UP TO 9TBSPS. LOL These all are so good. They have a teriyaki and a honey mustard. I've also seen they have a sweet chili but haven't found it in a store yet and steak sauce

Answer 3

H Hughes. bbq sauce, teriyaki sauce & more. Walmart

Answer 4

I'm a dipper too and don't like ketchup  I like the bolthouse cilantro avocado but not crazy about the ranch. I love real ranch, . I've tried the G Hughes honey mustard was a no go but their bbq sauce is great. I'm going to try to make ranch with some of the posted recipes.  

Answer 5

G. Hughes bbq sauce is awesome

Answer 6

Agree G Hughes sugar free at WalMart is great as are all his sauce

Answer 7

I make hidden valley ranch with the mix, low fat buttermilk, and low fat mayo. It has points but a lot less that the full fat versions and is fabulous

Answer 8

Look for Bolthouse dressings (salsa ranch, ranch, cucumber ranch) in the refrigerated section near the salads. Either 1 or 2 pts for 2 Tbsp and they are delicious.  

Comments

@caylacaylor2 I couldn't agree more. I love their dressings and they encourage me to eat salads

---

@lauryn and they are not filled with crap and chemicals.  

Answer 9

I use the skinny girl ranch, sometimes though I will mix 1 TSP of regular in it. The point is worth it.  

Answer 10

Bolthouse dressings are pretty good!  

Answer 11

Bolthouse ranch and G Hughes sugar free BBQ

Answer 12

Mix zero point salsa and light sour cream.  

Answer 13

GHughs makes great sauces, the BBQ sauce is great. I hate greek yogurt and I see alot of people using that to make dips. I tried and just couldn't stomach the taste, so I bought some plain FF yogurt and made ranch and french onion dips with that, wasn't bad. Also, I bought the skinny girl poppyseed dressing, which was still a bit bitter so I added a few drops of monkfruit liquid sweetener to that and it was a gamechanger.  

Answer 14

If you really like it, eat it! Count it in.  

Answer 15

Kraft Light Ranch isn't bad at all and it's 2 points for 2 Tablespoons.  

Answer 16

I think Olive agarden’s light is amazing.  

Answer 17

I use hidden valley light and suck up the points because I cant find a lower ranch thays tolerable. I also use olive garden light. Its 1 point.

@tsar77 have you tried Bolthouse yet?  

---

@caylacaylor2 I dont think I have tried that one yet. I just bought the skinny one and tossed it immediately lol.  

---

@caylacaylor2 I heard that I Ones good too! Going to try it!  

Answer 18

Bolthouse Ranch is yummy!  

Answer 19

Make fresh pico. It’s good with anything.  

Answer 20

There’s a pretty good bbq sugar free sauce on the market G Hughes sugar free bbq sauce. good. Get dry ranch dressing mix and mix with fage yogurt. great dip for veggies. or on a baked potato

Answer 21

Opa salad dressings are SO good!  

Answer 22

Make your own ranch dip with yogurt. Just Greek yogurt and a ranch dressing seasoning packet is pretty darn good with veggies. Then it out with cashew or almond milk to use as a dressing versus a dip. Look up dips under recipes in the app. There’s some good one’s out there.  

Answer 23

WW App has dressing recipes - 2 I believe. As for BBQ, if you can’t find low fat - you can look for a recipe to make your own or just use the points on the real stuff

Answer 24

If you make your own ranch with the seasoning, low fat mayo and fat free milk it is so much better than bottled and much lower in points than the original.  

Answer 25

Thank you so much to everyone that has helped! Reading through all the comments I think I’m going to try to make my own ranch and try the clearly popular G Hughes BBQ sauce!  

Answer 26

I've used ff Greek yogurt as a base & add seasonings to my taste. Powdered Ranch for dip or dressing. Herbs, garlic & onion powder for mock French onion dip. Thin it with some water & drizzle as an onion sauce on steamed veggies or potatoes instead of butter & sc.  

Answer 27

I love Trader Joe’s spicy peanut dressing. I put it on their chicken chili lime burgers. Yum!  

Comments

@fiducial I WISH I had a Trader Joe’s near me  we literally only have Kroger, Walmart, Sam’s Club or BJ’s wholesale. A Trader Joe’s and a Costco would be fabulous

Answer 28

I take 1 tbs of my favorite full fat version and then mix it with 1 or 2 tbs of the skinny ranch and that works for me.  

Answer 29

I think any lower cal food item can be made better with some herbs and spices.  

Answer 30

G Hughes has BBQ sauces I use.
