Newsflash for ranch lovers! Did you know that it is super duper easy to make delicious ranch seasoning mix homemade?
True story. No need to run to the store for one of those processed packets, or to pick up a jar of your favorite ranch dressing or dip. All of the ingredients are likely sitting right there in your spice cabinet! Just do a little measuring, a little mixing, and you’re ready to make your favorite ranch dressing or dip or whatever other ranch-ness you may love in less than 5 minutes. It is seriously that easy!
The great thing too about homemade ranch seasoning is that it won’t be full of un-pronounceable mystery ingredients. Just your simple herbs and spices, and some optional powdered buttermilk if you’d like (similar to powdered milk).
I love using mine to make skinny Greek yogurt ranch dip, ranch dressing, or I’ll even just use the mix to season some chicken or fries. Delish!!!
Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried dill

- 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- optional: 1/3 cup buttermilk powder*

Notes
Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
I have to say this was amazing! Tastes even better than the HVR mix that I buy in bulk because I use it in everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Best dressing I’ve made so far. Just can’t eat salad without it. Thank you so much for sharing ? x
Thank you! Very tasty.
So excited to try this! I can not tolerate MSG! It should be outlawed!! Going to make a Mississippi Mud Roast with it! Can’t wait to try it!
dried dill weed can be expensive. I buy fresh dill weed in the produce dept if it has been marked down. I remove the stems and dry it in the oven. I love dill and have saved a bunch!
I know you created this recipe ages ago, but I just had to thank you for it! I’ve been trying my damnedest to find a good homemade ranch recipe and every one of them has come up lacking – until this one! Thank you so much for such a simple and delicious recipe that’s delicious and makes a “just right” amount of ranch, where I’m not wasting or throwing away what’s left after a week.
Hello! How would we change the recipe if we omitted the powdered buttermilk? how much fresh buttermilk would have to be used with the greek yogut for the dip?
So odd. It was flavorful like spices but tasted nothing like Ranch packet dressing. Since other reviews say that it does, I must have mess up lol. I’ll perhaps try again next time.
I used straight spices FYI no buttermilk powder. If I add the powder, would it taste like the packet mix?? I don’t want salad dressing, I want the powder foRom for sprinkling on potatoes. Tia!
Hi – Have been looking for recipes to make my own ranch and came across this – super excited. The only question I have is you note that it will keep for up to 3 months in the refridge. Does it have to be kept cold? I’ll be making a few batches (some to share!) whild waiting for our nor’easter to blow through
Thanks for some insight. Didn’t want to run to the grocery store… Yet again today. Used your recipe as a base for my jalapeño ranch salad dressing/dip. Super bowl win ?
