Notes

Serving Suggestions:

This seasoning blend is incredibly versatile. Here are some of our favorite ways to use it:

For a simple ranch dressing, stir 1 to 2 tablespoons into sour cream and milk. For more ranch dressing variations, check out my recipe for homemade buttermilk ranch dressing.
Stir into mayonnaise and yogurt for a tangy dip. (I love this whole egg mayonnaise recipe and homemade yogurt recipe.)
Sprinkle over roasted potatoes before baking.
Use as a dry rub for chicken, pork or roast beef.
Add to breadcrumbs for a flavorful coating.
Sprinkle seasoning over a fresh batch of popcorn or rutabaga fries.
Mix into these easy 5-minute homemade crackers or baked kale chips.

Recipe Tips:

Make sure your herbs are fresh and fragrant. If they smell dull, your seasoning will too.
Store in a cool, dark place to preserve flavor.
Shake the jar before each use to redistribute the herbs.
Label your jar with the date so you know when it was made.

Storage Instructions:

Store your diy ranch seasoning mix in an airtight jar in a cool, dark pantry. Properly stored, it will maintain peak flavor for up to one year. Keep moisture out of the jar and always use a dry spoon when scooping.

If you notice fading aroma or color, it is time to make a fresh batch. Thankfully, it only takes five minutes.
