With just these ingredients (plus a few not pictured) you can make your own ranch dressing mix too!
There are many varieties out there - here is my recipe:
- 1/2 c. Dry Milk powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1 tsp dried Onion Flakes
- 1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
Here are the results: mine is on the right, the commercial brand is on the left. The only difference: mine tastes and smells better (tastes less salty!).

I'm so glad you posted this! I almost always forget to purchase ranch packages and never knew how to make it from scratch! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely AWESOME! We use a lot of ranch, and I hate paying so much for those little packets. Thanks a million :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've been looking for a homemade version!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this recipe! We love ranch dressing mix but I try not to use it too much because it just costs so much!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that I came to your post from Tasty Tuesday!!! I'm definitely going to try this ranch dressing! I haven't had any dressings besides oil based in a very long time because of what ingredients the store bought varieties have. This is seriously exciting :)

I'm glad you posted this recipe. I never remember to purchase the packets...PLUS I'd rather make it myself- I bet this dressing tastes way better than the store bought stuff.
ReplyDeleteThis looks easy and like something I'd be glad to have on hand.

Yes! I've been looking for this recipe for years! I am sensitive to MSG but I love Ranch dressing! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIs it really runny using milk and no mayo?
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could make your own. How neat! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! We are avoiding high fructose corn syrup and msg and it's has been near impossible to find ranch dressing without it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this! My girls are addicted to ranch dressing or "dippy" as they call it. So excited to try and make my own!
ReplyDeleteI have all those ingredients..too cool! thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great recipe. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOops....I asked if it was really runny using milk and no mayo...somehow I missed the fact that there is mayo in the recipe. Sorry! My children really, really like Ranch dressing so we'll definitely be giving this a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I wish I had seen this yesterday - I actually went and bought a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch to make a marinade for my chicken! haha I'll be using your recipe from now on!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I am always looking for ways to make my own stuff since it is much cheaper.
