Instructions

Add dry buttermilk powder and all herbs and spices to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Process for 25-30 seconds or until ingredients are well blended. Transfer to medium size glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Add the dill and stir to combine. Store in refrigerator.
To make ranch dressing, combine 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk dressing mix, ½ cup mayonnaise (I like Hellmans), ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cups buttermilk** in a medium size glass jar. Screw lid on tightly and shake vigorously. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Dressing will also thicken a bit as it sits.
To make ranch dip, combine 1 cup sour cream with 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk dressing mix and whisk until well combined.
Homemade Buttermilk Dressing Mix will keep in the fridge for 3-4 months or in the freezer indefinitely.

Notes

The buttermilk powder is shelf stable until it's opened, then store it in the refrigerator. * When you purchase dried parsley, look at the contents of the container. Look for parsley with a nice green hue vs a dull, greenish gray color )which means it's probably old).** I tried the dressing with both milk and buttermilk. Yes, the mix has dried buttermilk and you could use milk but I preferred it with buttermilk. The flavor is fantastic.
