Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk powder

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed powder

Notes

A note about the spices.

If you don’t have dried minced onion, add an extra teaspoon of onion powder.
Don’t skip the dried dill. While I don’t see it listed in the ingredients on the store-bought packet, it does add delicious flavor to homemade ranch seasoning.
Dried chives are a hard-to-find spice, at least in my area. Fortunately, I’ve made the ranch mix many times without it, and it still works great in recipes.
Most homemade dry ranch seasoning recipes don’t include celery seed. On many store-bought packets, celery seed is an ingredient listed, so I added it to the mix. However, if you don’t have celery seed, then leave it out.
This recipe makes about 4 ounces of homemade ranch seasoning mix. Three tablespoons of homemade seasoning is equal to 1 packet of store-bought Hidden Valley or Simply Organic mix. 
Store-bought packets will always include a lot more salt than homemade, so if you add extra salt to taste.

How to store homemade ranch seasoning

Put the seasoning mix into an airtight container and refrigerate for six months to a year. 
If you don’t use buttermilk powder, then the ranch seasoning can stay at room temperature. 
Mason jars work excellent for storing ranch seasoning mix.
