Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

Try this easy homemade ranch dressing mix recipe. The ingredients are simple, and the result is an out-of-this world tasting dip for veggies or chips that you can enjoy anytime! With this easy recipe, you can make your own ranch dressing mix right at home. It's perfect for salads, dipping sauces, and more. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than buying the pre-made stuff!

Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

There's something about ranch dressing that Americans and Canadians seem to really enjoy.  Anything ranch flavored we tend to go nuts over! lol

If you're like me and you enjoy having ranch on everything AND you like to save a few bucks wherever you can, making your own ranch dressing mix at home is a great idea!
Purchasing those little packets of ranch mix from the store can seem like such a waste of money, especially when you can make it at home for much cheaper.

All the ingredients to make a homemade ranch mix can most likely already be found on your spice rack and cost mere pennies. 🙂

The main ingredient that creates that delicious zing of ranch dressing is buttermilk powder.  This isn't as difficult to find as you might think and although I wasn't able to purchase it at a regular grocery store, I had no issues finding it a local bulk food store.

The buttermilk powder wasn't too expensive and the amount used to make 1 batch of the mix only cost about $1.75!

Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

Ranch dressing mix is so simple to make, it's ridiculous!

It's pretty much foolproof, really.

All you have to do is combine all the ingredients (but reserve and set aside some of the dried parsley and the chives) in a food processor until well combined and it's a fine powdery texture.  Once it's been processed I spoon everything into a mason jar and drop in the reserved parsley and chives, then shake up the jar.  I like to leave some large pieces of the dried herbs in the mix since it looks so nice once it's made to serve. 🙂

Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix

For use as a salad dressing, I mix 3 tbsps of the mix with some milk and mayonnaise (see recipe below).

When mixed with mayonnaise and sour cream (or Greek yogurt), this ranch mix can also be used to make a really tasty dip to go with veggies or chips!

I love having this mix on hand for when I need to make a quick salad dressing or to use in some of my other recipes.

Here's a few more ideas on what you can use ranch dressing mix for:

  • popcorn seasoning
  • seasoning potato wedges
  • flavoring for a roast
  • use in a casserole
  • flavoring meatloaf

I'm sure there are lots of other things that you can use ranch dressing mix for, just experiment and see what you like! 🙂
