Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix

by Alli

Skip buying ranch seasoning packets from the store. It’s so easy to make your own flavorful Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix at home. 

This seasoning mix has a bold flavor. It’s great for making creamy dips and dressings. It also makes a wonderful seasoning for chicken, potatoes, and so much more!

Ranch dressing is a favorite at my house and homemade is so much better than bottled dressing. We use homemade Ranch dressing on salads and as a dipping sauce so I always have it on hand.

Tips For Making and Storing Dry Ranch Mix

  • The dried green spices tend to separate from the rest of the ingredients. That’s ok, just give it a good stir before using it each time.
  • Use just like the store-bought seasoning ranch packets. 
  • Adjust to your own taste. That’s the best thing about making your own. Want more chives? Throw them in there! Want a little less garlic powder, no problem, adjust it down a bit. In other words, adjust it to meet your perfect preferences.
  • Be sure to store the mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry area such as a pantry.
