Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk powder
  • 4 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 4 teaspoons dried chives
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, measure and mix all the dry ingredients — buttermilk powder, dried parsley, garlic salt, onion powder, dried chives, dill, salt, and pepper — until evenly blended.
  2. Mix or Shake: Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or any airtight container and give it a good stir or shake to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Store: Seal the container and refrigerate the mix to preserve freshness and flavor. Keep it in an airtight container to prevent moisture and clumping.
  4. Optional Smoothing Step: For a finer, smoother powder texture, pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor. This step helps break down the herbs for better incorporation when used in recipes.

Notes

  • Use about 2 tablespoons of this mix per 1 cup of mayonnaise or sour cream to make a classic ranch dressing.
  • Store in a cool, dry place if you prefer not to refrigerate; however, refrigeration prolongs shelf life.
  • Adjust salt and garlic salt quantities to taste for a less salty version.
  • This mix is great as a seasoning for vegetables, popcorn, or roasted potatoes.
