Ranch Dressing Mix Recipe
1 cup powdered buttermilk
2 tablespoons dried dill weed
6 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
Mix all ingredients together. It will fit perfectly in a pint sized canning jar. If you want you can run all the ingredients through your food processor to mix it really well, but I didn’t.
One tablespoon of mix is equal to one packet of dressing mix, so you really are saving money by making your own mix.
