Newsflash for ranch lovers! Did you know that it is super duper easy to make delicious ranch seasoning mix homemade?
True story. No need to run to the store for one of those processed packets, or to pick up a jar of your favorite ranch dressing or dip. All of the ingredients are likely sitting right there in your spice cabinet! Just do a little measuring, a little mixing, and you’re ready to make your favorite ranch dressing or dip or whatever other ranch-ness you may love in less than 5 minutes. It is seriously that easy!
The great thing too about homemade ranch seasoning is that it won’t be full of un-pronounceable mystery ingredients. Just your simple herbs and spices, and some optional powdered buttermilk if you’d like (similar to powdered milk).
I love using mine to make skinny Greek yogurt ranch dip, ranch dressing, or I’ll even just use the mix to season some chicken or fries. Delish!!!
Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 1 cup 1x
Description
Delicious ranch seasoning mix is super easy to make homemade!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- optional: 1/3 cup buttermilk powder*
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together until blended. If you want a more finely-ground seasoning mix, you can pulse the mixture in a food processor until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store in a sealed container for up to 1 year. (If using the buttermilk powder, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 month.)
Notes
Buttermilk powder: If you would like to make ranch seasoning that is identical to the stuff sold in the packet, you can add buttermilk powder to this recipe. Otherwise, you can just add fresh buttermilk if you are turning this seasoning into ranch dressing.
Store-bought equivalent: Approximately 3 tablespoons of this mix (made with the buttermilk powder mixed in) equals 1 packet of the store-bought ranch seasoning mix.
To make ranch dressing: Combine 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (including buttermilk powder) + 1/3 cup mayo + 1/3 cup milk, and whisk to combine.
Oh my heavens, yes! I love this and absolutely need this as part of my pantry staples!
Well, bless you my friend! We all need this!!!
I had no idea it was this easy! Now I’ll have to make it all the time!
The powered buttermilk needs to be refrigerated after you open it, so wouldn’t this need to be refrigerated? And how much would you uss like 1 tablespooon to 1 cup of milk?
I was wondering the same thing about the powdered buttermilk
So I called the company and they told me the reason for putting the powder in the frig. is after a while it will get hard so I mixed up the recipe and put it in the frig. Hope this helps
I need to make a big jar of this stat… I never knew powdered buttermilk exisited… off to figure out where to buy this special ingredient! Love this!
I found it at Walmart!
Bob’s Red Mill! At his store in Milwaukee (awesome place to visit), or in most grocery stores.
Most grocery stores carry it in the baking aisle near the non-fat dry powdered milk. It’s usually right next to it.
I love the idea of powdered buttermilk, trying that next time for sure!
I love this! Must try. And, that settles it … I am giving in and buying some cute Weck jars.
OMG. Seriously. I’m all over it.
Happy V-day!
God bless you and this post. I’m pretty sure the only thing I talk about more than smoothies and oatmeal on my website are “creepy seasoning packets.” LOL
I will absolutely be trying this, I normally just buy the packets. I even already have the buttermilk powder on hand.
