By now you’ve seen those packets of instant “just add mayo/buttermilk or sour cream” ranch mix.  Pretty cool idea, right?  Not rather wallet friendly though, huh?  Sure it’s not super expensive but my motto is why buy if I can make it myself?!  And most importantly, it’s a lot cheaper, I can control the ingredients AND it’s really, REALLY good!

I thought I had posted this a while ago but apparently I didn’t. Sorry 🙁

At the end of this post, I’ll give you 2 recipes for this – one for buttermilk ranch dressing and another for buttermilk ranch dip (seriously I could just eat this by the shovel-full!).  But don’t stop at just dip or dressing.  This is actual seasoning which means it’s versatile.

Use this on chicken or fries right out of the fryer/oven  Ranch chicken is INSANE!  You can mix it in with your flour/Panko OR just season the nekkid bird with it before you grill or saute it.

Make this and tell me how you used it!  I’d love to hear some of your creative ideas!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH… stop the presses!  I got an idea’r that I wanna share…

Put this in your pizza or bread dough!  OMG… Can you imagine?  Make a Buffalo Chicken Pizza and have the crust ranch flavored!!!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

    made the seasoning mix and added mix to fried potatoes along with sauteed chicken breast chucks and added left over fresh green bean salad. Made a great stir fry.

    I’m anxious to try this!! Looks great. I’m wondering about making dressing. It says for dressing you use 1 cup of buttermilk. I’m assuming I can make the buttermilk from the powder? Can I just add more buttermilk powder to the mix and then add water and mayo instead? Thanks!

      Hi Scott!

      So to make buttermilk from the buttermilk powder it’s generally 1 cup of water to 2-3 Tbl of buttermilk powder. In this recipe I’m showing you how to make the seasoning (dry mixture). Now to make the ranch dressing you’ll 1/4 cup of the seasoning mix, 1 cup of mayo and 1 cup of buttermilk. So you could use the water/buttermilk mixture to make the liquid part, then add the seasoning and mayo. So yes you’re assumptions are pretty accurate. Just get the buttermilk power to water ratio right.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!
