The herbs are complemented by savory garlic and onion powder and a balanced seasoning of sea salt and black pepper.

It delivers the quintessential ranch taste, making it a versatile addition to various recipes, from dressings and dips to marinades and snacks.

You’ll need:

• ⅛ cup of buttermilk powder
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon of dry dill
• ¼ teaspoon of dried chives (or ½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives)
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• ½ teaspoon of sea salt
• ⅛ teaspoon of ground black pepper

PRO TIP:

The amounts in this recipe will make 1 ounce of ranch seasoning mix – equivalent to one store-bought ranch seasoning packet. You can double or triple the recipe to make your own homemade ranch seasoning in bulk.

Substitutions And Additions

BUTTERMILK POWDER: Dry buttermilk powder can typically be found in the baking aisle of most local grocery stores.

Look near regular powdered milk, evaporated milk, etc., to find it.

EXTRA HEAT: To give your ranch seasoning a spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of red pepper flakes.

This will introduce some heat without altering the overall composition of the mix.

SEA SALT: While sea salt adds a wonderful depth of flavor, you can easily substitute it with regular table salt without significantly altering the taste.

Just remember that table salt is usually finer, so you might want to use a bit less than the specified quantity and adjust to taste.

How To Make This Ranch Seasoning Recipe

You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to mix up this seasoning, and we bet you’ll never buy store-bought again.

STEP ONE: Put all the ingredients in a small bowl.

STEP TWO: Stir together until the spices are completely mixed.

How to Serve

Use the dry mix to season meats, pasta, or veggies, or whip it up into a ranch dip for a tasty option.

To prepare homemade ranch dressing from the dry seasoning, combine a half cup of sour cream, a half cup of mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon, and one ounce of seasoning.

Whisk in milk a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
