  1. We go through so much Hidden Valley ranch and it costs a furtune! I’m going to try this on my family and see what they think. Thanks!

  2. I make my own yogurt. Would it work just as well as a replacement for the sour cream?

    • Hi Donna, we have not tried yogurt instead of sour cream, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work though.
      Happy Cooking!

  3. Christine heery says

    How long would you say it will keep in the fridge ?

    • Hi Christine, if you keep it sealed tightly, I’d say about 2 wks. Ours as never lasted that long, so I’m sorry I can’t tell you for sure.
