Looking for an easy dry ranch dressing mix that you can make out of your herb and spices shelf? It works great as a buttermilk ranch dressing or even used as a dry powder, sprinkled on food before cooking.
While you don’t have to, you can gently grind up the herbs nd spices to a powder, which dissolves in the dressing more easily.
Unlike commercial dry mixes, this doesn’t contain added seed oils, MSG, or heavy amounts of sodium.
Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup dried parsley
- 2 Tbsp granulated onion
- 2 Tbsp granulated garlic
- 1 Tbsp freeze-dried chives
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp dried thyme, crumbled
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together, store in a tightly sealed glass jar.
If desired, whirl the ingredients in a blender to break up a bit (this will cause settling, so adjust for that when measuring the dry mix, divide in half, instead of measuring it out).
Will make two batches of dry mix.
