What is Dry Ranch Dressing?

Dry Ranch Dressing is a seasoning mix of herbs, spices and dried buttermilk. It can be combined with liquid ingredients to make a dressing or used as a dry rub for meats and vegetables.

The store bought packets of dry ranch seasoning have been a staple of quick and easy homecooked meals for years. There’s something satisfying about the particular combination of dried herbs in ranch dressing that keeps you coming back for more.

But like so many other processed convenience foods, ranch seasoning packets are chockfull of (you guessed it) extra sugars, flours and preservatives. When you want to know exactly what’s in your food and feel good about what you’re serving your family, homemade seasoning mix is the way to go.

It turns out ranch dressing doesn’t need all those additives and sugars to taste delicious! This dry seasoning mix delivers plenty of familiar ranch-y flavor without the unwanted additions.

More reasons you’ll love this dressing mix:

• It’s keto and gluten free. No added sugar, maltodextrin or MSG.
• Homemade seasoning takes just seconds to make!
• It tastes better than store bought dry ranch mix by a mile.

Ingredient Notes

• Dry buttermilk powder is dehydrated from cultured milk (buttermilk). It ties together the flavors of the herbs and spices while giving the ranch seasoning its familiar tang. You’ll find dry buttermilk in the baking section of the grocery store.
• Onion powder and garlic powder are essential for perfect ranch seasoning! I prefer using powdered versions over granulated in my ranch seasoning.
• Dried parsley and dill bring the signature herby flavor to this seasoning blend. For these herbs you want to used the dried leaves, not the powdered versions.

Serving Suggestions

Once you mix together your ingredients, you’re ready to use the ranch seasoning mix in all kinds of delicious dishes. It works just like the store bought packets in any recipe that calls for ranch dressing mix.
