What ranch dressing do you use?

Similar to the ketchup post below, for all my HFCS and GMO avoiding ways, I love Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.  Can anyone recommend an alternative that tastes similar?  The consitency of the other brands I've tried is too thin.  TIA!

Re: What ranch dressing do you use?

  • We just bought Annie's. Add some organic plain or Greek yogurt to thicken up a runny creamy dressing.

     

  • I don't know if this helps you or not, but Penzey's makes a wonderful ranch dressing herb mix if you wanted to diy. I haven't tried any of the bottled versions to compare.

  • I'm pretty sure that Kraft's is HFCS free, and I like it.

    But I was also checking Hidden Valley's website for ingredients, and they now have an organic ranch.  That should be HFCS free, right?  I can't find the ingredients, though.  Stick out tongue

  • I have Annie's Natural. I bought my first bottle a few weeks ago. I don't use ranch dressing that often but so far it tastes good.
  • Newman's Own tastes pretty good and that is what we buy for now. I would also like to try Annie's but it isn't available at a local store (would have to drive to nearest city). I also want to try the dry mix, I think I found one at heavenlyhomemakers.com once

    There may not be HFCS in Kraft, but there is MSG and soybean oil


  • Annie's Cowgirl ranch.
    nothing
  • The only ranch dressing (organic, or not) i like is safeway's organic brand.

  • omg, I am just like you! Except I like the HV packages that you mix up, because I like thin ranches. But I LOVE the HV flavor. I haven't been able to find it in anything else. I pretty much just don't eat ranch anymore.
  • I love the Hidden Valley packets that you mix (I use the mayo recipe on the back so it's super thick). I've still been using that but recently was looking for an alternative and found THIS recipe for ranch on the pionner woman's blog that I'm going to try.

  • I LOVE Marzetti's ranch. Not organic, but it doesn't have MSG or HFCS in it. 

    I think Hidden Valley's organic version tastes like crap, personally.
