Ranch Seasoning Mix
Homemade ranch seasoning mix is so easy to make and really convenient to keep on hand. Use it for seasoning, dips, dressings or in any recipe that calls for a packet of ranch seasoning.
We often use ranch seasoning packets for a simple veggie dip, a quick salad dressing, or most usually, in my Mississippi pot roast recipe. I stumbled upon a recipe on Fork in the Kitchen that sounded simple and tasty so I decided to give it a try. I adapted the recipe a little bit to work with what I had on hand but it was so easy to throw together and I love that it uses up spices I always have on hand.
How to Make Ranch Seasoning Mix
Combine together the buttermilk powder, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, chives, minced onion, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, dried mustard, and celery seed together in a small jar. Seal with a lid and shake until well combined.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to six months (be sure to check the buttermilk powder’s container to confirm its expiration date).
1 Packet of Ranch Seasoning Mix = 2 Tablespoons
