Homemade Ranch Seasoning

Summary: On learning that Original Ranch Packets contained a large amount of maltodextrin, something less than desirable from a health standpoint (despite lending excellent flavor), I set out to find a recipe for a homemade variant. I looked through multiple online recipes and found an excellent one by Jamie of My Baking Addiction. I have since made modifications to suit my personal taste preferences and this is the result.

​

Ingredients: Makes about 1 ¼ cups of seasoning.

• 1 cup dry buttermilk powder

• 2 tbsp granulated onion

• 2 tbsp dried parsley

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

• 4 heaping tsp dried dill

• 4 heaping tsp dried chives

• 3 tsp Kosher salt

• 2 tsp Splenda / Monkfruit sweetener

• 1.5 tsp tarragon

• 1 tsp mustard powder

• 21 grinds fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)

Directions:

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl to combine. I like to store this seasoning in a mason jar in the refrigerator. 2-3 tablespoons of this spice will replace 1 packet of Original Ranch seasoning.
