Homemade Ranch Seasoning
Description
This seasoning combines dried buttermilk powder with garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, dill, chives, salt, sugar, tarragon, black pepper, and mustard powder. The mixture is whisked together thoroughly and stored in an airtight container to retain freshness and potency.
The finished mix can substitute store-bought ranch packets, allowing customization of quantities and use in dips, dressings, or as a dry rub. The inclusion of buttermilk powder provides the characteristic tangy dairy base of classic ranch seasoning.
Preparation is simple and requires no cooking beyond the mixing, making it a convenient option for homemade flavoring. The recipe notes that about 2 tablespoons of this mix replaces one packet of commercial ranch seasoning.

- ⅓ cup dry buttermilk powder
