 I’ve really gotten into making my own seasoning mixes lately. I posted this homemade taco seasoning recipe last week and I have a couple more for you. Starting off with this homemade ranch seasoning mix. I like making my own because it tastes 1000x better when you do! You can actually taste the spices & flavor instead of that stale-generic-salty-packet taste.

These homemade mixes are easy to make, and cheap because they use common spices that you probably already have. I always buy my spices in bulk at Costco or Sam’s Club. They last forever and I can make lots & lots of batches of homemade mixes. And my favorite part is that you know exactly what is in it. No more crazy named things that you can’t even pronounce!

  The only ingredient that you may not have is the powdered buttermilk. I found mine in the baking aisle. If you love all things ranch then you really need to make {the best} homemade ranch dressing ever. Mix up just a few ingredients in a bowl and stir together. That’s it!

Try this homemade ranch seasoning mix and let me know what you think. You can use 2 tablespoons to replace a store packet called for in recipes.

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together and store in an air-tight jar. I like to store mine in a mason jar.

    How much liquid do you use to make the dressing? I see where it says 2T is one packet but no further instructions. Thanks!

      Jen, it varies for what kind of dressing you want. This recipe was just for the ranch seasoning mix (the kind you get in the packet). Generally, I think the packets say to mix with 1 cup sour cream for a veggie dip? Not entirely sure what you're trying to make, but this recipe just replaces the packet of ranch seasoning mix either in a recipe or in a dressing recipe. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    My dry buttermilk says store in fridge after opening. Do you keep this whole thing in the fridge then?

      Good point! I've never realized that. I have made this several times and have always kept it in the spice cupboard. It does tend to get dry and clumpy if you leave it in there too long without using. Maybe that's the reason. Keeping it in the fridge would not hurt it so if you feel better about doing that, it should be just fine :)

      This recipe is just for the ranch seasoning mix. When a recipe calls for a packet of ranch seasoning mix (just the dry stuff) you can use this homemade one instead of a store bought packet. Not sure what you mean by it won't thicken.... if you're looking for ranch dressing i have that recipe I'll link to in a little bit.
