Like many people, my husband and I are fond of ranch dressing and ranch flavored things. Sophisticated? Definitely not. Tasty? Definitely yes! I have a homemade ranch dressing that we both love, but sometimes recipes call for dry ranch powder, so I decided to make some myself. After looking at many recipes online, I settled on the one from
Brown Eyed Baker because it looked good and I've had success with the few recipes of hers I've made before. As usual, I tweaked the recipe a bit, but it turned out great and what's pictured below is actually the last of the batch I made. Time to make it again!
I should note that I only actually made this mix into salad dressing once because I was out of other dressings. It was good- better than store bought dressing- but not as good as the homemade fresh kind. The rest of the mix has gone into recipes that call for the dry kind. Because I only made it into salad dressing once and it was spur of the moment, I didn't measure anything. If you want to turn this into liquid salad dressing, I suggest stirring together milk and mayo until it has the right consistency, then stirring in the dressing mix until it tastes right. Soon I will update this with more specific measurements.
Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix
1 C buttermilk powder
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp dried chives
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Process everything in food processor, and store in a jar in refrigerator for 3 months. 3 tablespoons of the mix is equivalent to 1 packet of purchased ranch dressing mix.
