Homemade Ranch Seasoning

  I use ranch seasoning a lot, especially while freezer cooking, but those little packets are pretty expensive and filled with unhealthy preservatives. So after collecting a ton recipes for my posts 30 Items You Can Make at Home to Save Money and 40 Groceries to Stop Buying and Start Making to Save Money, I was inspired to try my hand at making some of my own mixes.

  This is the first seasoning mix that I’ve tried making and I’m in love! It’s so nice to have it on hand and not have to worry about running out to the store, especially when I do bulk cooking and need a lot of it. I hope you love it as much as I do and I can’t wait to try out other mixes soon.

How to make Homemade Ranch Seasoning:

Gather all the ingredients.

Mix all ingredients and store in air tight container.

That’s it!

Two tablespoons = 1 packet dry ranch seasoning.

    I will definitely try this. I've never had ranch seasoning (I live in Norway) but this sounds great!

    Oh, I love making my own convenience items like this! Have you ever made Ranch dressing with it? I've been wanting to try to make that homemade.

      I haven't made dressing with it since I normally use it dry for cooking. I would be sure to use the dried buttermilk if you want to use it as a dressing.

      When I make this dressing mix I don't put the buttermilk in because I usually never have any dry because I make my own. When I make it into dressing I mix it with a cup of plain greek yogurt thinned with milk. Same taste. To use for cooking I just use as is without the buttermilk.

    How would you turn this from dry into a wet dressing?

      I've only used it as a dry mix, but here is a link with instructions to use it as a dip or dressing. http://happymoneysaver.com/diy-copycat-homemade-hidden-valley-ranch-mix/

    Sounds yummy! How long does it stay good in an air tight container?

      It should keep indefinitely since all of the ingredients are shelf stable, but you should probably use it within a year for freshness.

        Does it need to be refrigerated? My container of powdered buttermilk says refrigerate after opening so I'm curious if this mix should be since it's made with the powdered buttermilk??

          I use regular powdered milk and don't refrigerate it, but if the buttermilk says to refrigerate then I would.

    I love skipping the extra ingredients that are put into store bought things. I am going to try this next time I make our favorite pasta salad! It is amazing how much better you feel when you start to get away from processed foods.

    Could I make this with onion powder instead of the onion flakes and still have it come out tasting the same??

      I'm sure it would work fine, you just wouldn't have the texture of the onions.
