Homemade Ranch Dressing

lhartmann1962

I have been reading all the recipe ideas everyone posts and love them. I saw that many of the recipes call for dry Ranch Salad dressing mix. Here is a recipe I found that might replace the packet and you will know what is in it. I am trying to cut down my salt intake so homemade to me is best at the moment.

COPYCAT H.V. RANCH DRESSING MIX
1/2 cup dry buttermilk (can use regular powdered milk, but I'm not sure how that would affect taste/texture)
1 T. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp. instant minced onions
1 tsp. dill weed
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt (I didn't add it)
1/4 tsp. pepper
Throw ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix until it's finely 'powdered'.
Mix with whatever combination of mayo/sour cream/buttermilk/ milk you usually do. For 2 cups of dip or dressing, start with 1 tablespoon mix, increasing gradually if you think it needs more oomph. Same with recipes that call for 1 packet of H.V. One tablespoon was recommended, but you may find you prefer using more like 1-1/2.

If you divide the recipe by 12 the calories are 22 per serving without the sour cream etc.
