Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Storage Jar

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Buttermilk Powder
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Onion Powder
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Chives dried
  • 1 Tablespoon Parsley dried
  • 1 Tablespoon Dill dried
  • 2 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Mustard Powder

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, parsley, dill, sea salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Stir until evenly mixed and no clumps remain. Transfer the ranch seasoning powder to an airtight spice jar or container and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Notes

  1. Buttermilk Powder: The magic ingredient in ranch powder. It creates that tangy, creamy base just like the Hidden Valley Ranch packets you buy at the store (except this version has no fillers or preservatives). 
  2. Mustard Powder: Is optional but recommended, especially if you like a tangier ranch. 
  • Use dried herbs and spices for this recipe to make it shelf-stable. Fresh herbs contain moisture, and if used, the ranch powder should be used the same day it's made. 
  • Use fresh buttermilk powder and spices for the best flavor and longest shelf life. 
  • The salt can be adjusted to your preference or left out completely. Add extra dill and/or mustard powder for a tangier ranch flavor. 
  • Store in an airtight jar or container in a cool, dry place and use within 3-6 months. Double-check the expiry date of your buttermilk powder and spices to ensure freshness. 
  • Buttermilk powder can be found at some grocery stores in the baking aisle, bulk food stores (like Bulk Barn) or ordered online. 
  • To turn this homemade ranch seasoning into ranch dressing, mix it with mayonnaise, sour cream, milk or greek yogurt. 
One batch of this ranch powder seasoning makes 4 servings (12 Tablespoons Total).
3 Tablespoons=one packet of ranch seasoning that you would buy at the store.
