How To Use Ranch Seasoning

To make ranch dip, combine ¼ seasoning with 2 cups sour cream. Chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make ranch dressing, whisk together 3 tablespoons of seasoning, ½ cup mayonnaise, and ½ cup buttermilk. Chill for at least 1 hour before using.

Tips

The dried green spices will want to separate from the rest of the ingredients. That’s ok, just give it a good stir before using it each time.
Adjust to your own taste. That’s the best thing about making your own. Want more chives? Throw them in there! Want a little less garlic powder, no problem, adjust it down a bit. In other words, adjust it to meet your perfect preferences.
Avoid storing where there is a lot of moisture or humidity. Because there are no preservatives, the ranch seasoning is vulnerable to clumping if exposed to moisture.
Want to add a little “tang” to the mix? Use powdered buttermilk in place of powdered milk.
