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

- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Notes
Did you make this?Let me know how it turned out in the comments below!
I was out of the packets and found this recipe! Made in 5 minutes and am thrilled with the results. Super cool. Thanks
The most popular and sometimes the only Ranch envelop available , in a regular grocery, has MSG, so does Badia seasoning! So I have avoided Ranch too. Can’t wait to try it. Seems that the buttermilk powder is pretty important part, though.
Thank you soooo much for this recipe! I bought all the items fresh and mixed it up. Planning to make ranch dip for dd’s bday party this weekend. I’m so sick of all the ranch dressing mixes having stuff like maltodextrin in them and I refuse for my children to eat that stuff if I can help it but i’ve missed out on Ranch for a while now. I’m SOOO very glad to have my ranch back!! :-D
And if you look at the ingredients the maltodextrin is the MAIN ingredient! Sad… :-(
What’s wrong with maltodexterin? It’s just starch like corn starch.
I can’t speak for everyone else, but if I eat maltodextrin, I end up with a 2.5 day migraine headache, every time.
Its just like corn syrup solid, bad for diabetics and everybody!
Thank you for the recipe, I used it on my Whole 30 blog! https://mekwhole30.blogspot.com/
If you shop at WalMart look for the powdered buttermilk in the aisle where they sell the regular low fat powdered milk, condensed and evaporated milk.
I used this recipe for a veggie dip. I didn’t have any buttermilk powder, so I omitted that, but I added the avocado that someone suggested. It was a big hit–so delicious! I will definitely be making it again!
Is the yield of this recipe equal to 1 packet?
No, but if you measure out 3 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture, that will equal one packet. Good luck!
How long can I keep the dressing in the fridge?
I would keep it for up to 5 days.
I whipped this up, omitting powdered milk and onion powder. Subbing goat’s yogurt (all items I had in my kitchen). The first taste tester was my son in law who eats the mainstream american diet, and he was leery to try it, but was surprised at how good it was! He gobbled up paleo chicken tenders in almond flour, dipped in this ranch. Thank you for the recipe!!
Thank you for your recipe. My daughter is allergic to so many additives. I have turned down so many recipes because of that. Now I have so many I can use.
