Servings: 16
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup dry buttermilk powder
- 3 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried chives
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons dill weed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients with a fork or whisk until combined. You can also put the ingredients in a small jar with a lid and shake it.⅓ cup dry buttermilk powder, 3 tablespoons dried parsley, 1 ½ tablespoons dried chives, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 ½ teaspoons dill weed, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon paprika
- If desired, pulse in a food processor or blender to create a more uniform texture. I don't usually blend mine because we like the visible green herbs but it's up to you.
- Refrigerate the seasoning in an airtight container. It will keep for 2 to 3 months. I use the “best by” date on my buttermilk powder as a guide.
Notes
- Yield: 3 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning is equivalent to one 1-ounce package of store-bought ranch seasoning mix. This recipe makes about ½ cup which would be equivalent to a little less than 3 packets (8 tablespoons = ½ cup). I usually make a double batch.
- Make ranch dressing: Mix ingredients as instructed above. Add 1 cup of milk and one cup of mayonnaise OR plain Greek yogurt (or a combination); whisk until blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve. I usually stir it again before serving.
- More ways to use ranch seasoning: Use it to make ranch dip (or jalapeño ranch), southwestern orzo salad, or ranch pasta salad. Sprinkle it on baked potatoes with a little sour cream. Mix the seasoning with olive oil to season potatoes or vegetables before roasting them. I take this one idea step further to make my ranch pork chops sheet pan dinner with potatoes and green beans, one of our favorite meals.
