Homemade Ranch Seasoning is easy to make and convenient to keep on hand. Use it for dips and dressings or in any recipe that calls for a packet of ranch seasoning. I just think it’s more convenient to keep jars of the homemade stuff in my pantry than to have to remember to buy packets at the grocery store every time I want to make a recipe. Plus, it’s nice to be able to control how much of each spice goes into the mixes.

Dry Ranch Packet

  • 3 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed

  • 1 tablespoon Minced Dry Garlic

HOW TO STORE THIS SEASONING MIX

I keep my ranch mix in a small Mason jor, but any airtight container will work. Just store the container in a cool, dry place.  It will keep for months, although I doubt it will last that long!

Though you can buy ranch seasoning packets from the store, I really prefer to make my own, free of MSG and preservatives. It really doesn’t take long to make. Take 5 minutes to mix a few ingredients together, and you’re all set.
