Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Having everything laid out makes the mixing process easier. You’ll need powdered buttermilk, dried dill, dried parsley, dried chives, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the powdered buttermilk. This is the base of your seasoning and gives it that creamy ranch flavor. Use a whisk to break up any clumps and ensure it's light and fluffy.
- Next, add the dried dill to the bowl. Dill is crucial for that authentic ranch taste, so don’t be shy! Stir it into the buttermilk until evenly distributed.
- Now, it’s time to add the dried parsley. This herb will give your mix a vibrant green color and a refreshing flavor. Mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients.
- Sprinkle in the dried chives. Their mild onion taste will complement the other flavors beautifully. Make sure to mix them well for an even blend.
- Next, incorporate the onion powder. This ingredient adds a savory depth to your seasoning mix. Stir until it's well combined.
- After that, add the garlic powder. Garlic is an essential ingredient for any seasoning mix, rounding out the flavor and adding richness. Mix well.
- Now, it's time to season your mix with salt. This will enhance all the flavors and bring everything together, so stir it in thoroughly.
- Finally, add the ground black pepper for a bit of heat. Mix all the ingredients until you achieve a uniform consistency, ensuring that there are no lumps.
- Once your Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix is ready, transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to six months. Enjoy your mix with a variety of dishes!
Notes
For maximum freshness, store your seasoning in an airtight container away from light. This keeps the flavors vibrant longer. Consider making a larger batch to use over time. This mix holds well, so you’ll always have it on hand for quick flavor boosts. Feel free to adjust the amount of each herb based on your taste preference. Want more garlic? Add a bit more garlic powder! This seasoning pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or as a base for creamy dips.
