Homemade Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix

Ingredients 

•2 Tbsp dried parsley
•1 tsp dried dill
•1 tsp garlic powder
•1 tsp onion powder
•1/2 tsp dried basil
•1/2 tsp pepper

Directions

•Add each of the dried spices to a bowl and gently stir. I use either a food grander or a mortar and pestle to grind my dried herbs finer.

•Store in a resealable plastic baggie or small ball canning jar with tight fitting lid  in your spice cabinet.

To Make Dressing

•To make the ranch dressing, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise with (1/4 cup milk +1 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar)Mix your milk and vinegar first, let sit 5 minutes before mixing with Mayo (more or less depending on the consistency you want) with 1 Tbsp of the homemade ranch dressing seasoning mix.  Season with salt, to taste. Let sit for 30 minutes in fridge and can refrigerate for up to 3 days.

•Makes about 4 Tbsp worth of mix. Or use the ratios above and mix up however much you’ll need!

 

 Here is another recipe I use the above mix to make a thicker dressing or works as a great dip. Start off with less of the Ranch mix to start, let it sit for 30 minutes at least then taste, want more seasoning, add another spoonful.

Homemade Ranch Dressing

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-2 tablespoon of Ranch Mix above.

 

Directions:

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor, blitz on high speed for 2 minutes. In a hurry, don't want the mess?  Mix it with a whisk and then pour it in a container you can shake before each use. Works too.

The mixture will look runny, but will thicken as it chills.

Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
