Notes

How to Store

Store the Homemade Ranch Seasoning in an airtight container such as a mason jar or a spice jar with a tight-sealing lid.

Make sure to label the jar with the contents and the date of preparation. Store the seasoning mix in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Dried buttermilk versus fresh buttermilk.

If you prefer, you can leave the dried buttermilk out of the mix. When it’s time to make the dip, add the fresh buttermilk at that time.

How to Make Buttermilk Ranch Dressing?

To make ranch dressing, mix about 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix with ½ cup of mayonnaise and ½ cup of buttermilk (or sour cream) until smooth. Adjust the consistency and seasoning according to your preference. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Use this homemade version as a salad dressing for fresh salads, or a dip for fresh vegetables, potato chips, chicken nuggets, chicken wings, pizza and more.
