I purchased a ranch dressing powder on a whim at the grocery store a few months ago, which is great for when I want to whip up a nice sauce... just add a little mayonnaise and you're good to go. Then one day, my wife had prepared salad fixings for dinner and I assembled a bowl with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, topped with a small handful of peanuts and sesame seeds and a little cheese... not a bad meal, but I needed a little dressing. I enjoy dressing as much as the next guy, but I do try to use as little as possible. Anyway, the lettuce was pretty wet and I had a flash of insight... I just sprinkled the ranch dressing powder directly on the salad and it worked great. You get the tang and savor, without all the fat and sugar.
