Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix

This simple Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix can completely replace the ranch seasoning mix packets you buy at the store.

They are insanely expensive. Am I right?!  Not to mention the weird unknown ingredients so this version is a fantastic alternative!

I usually double the recipe and keep a jar of it in my pantry. 

All the ingredients for a homemade ranch seasoning mix.

I tend to use a lot of seasoning mixes in my crock pot recipes like The One and Only Crock Pot Chicken and Crock Pot Salsa Verde Shredded Beef .

There is nothing worse than a bland protein so this spice mix really adds some dimension and flavor!

I also like to mix a couple teaspoons into a little plain Greek yogurt and dip veggies in it for an afternoon snack.

Most of us are super busy and tend to not want to take the time to make a lot of our foods and condiments from scratch, but I believe this Homemade Ranch Seasoning is worth it.

This seasoning mix only takes minutes to prepare and is also salt free. My father in law has recently started eating a very low sodium diet so this recipe is perfect for him. He can season his chicken breasts, vegetables, and fish with it!

Ranch Seasoning Ingredients:

  • dried parsley flakes
  • garlic powder
  • dill weed
  • onion powder or flakes
  • dried basil
  • ground black pepper

I love this article by Food Babe that highlights the harmful ingredients hiding in our spice cabinets and four ways to buy them safely.

We are so fortunate to have a great health food coop where we can buy spices from bulk bins and they always seem so fresh!

Wal-Mart and local grocery stores have all the ingredients you need for this spice mix if you don’t have access to bulk spices.

    How would it be to mix into 1lb. Of ground chicken and make chicken pattys? Or would it be better mixed into mayo with a little bit of milk for a sauce for the chicken sandwich itself?

      Theresa, I think either of your recipe ideas sound delicious. I am not sure which would be better, but is there ever too much ranch? 😉 Happy eating and thanks for trying out this yummy seasoning blend.

    I love that it has no added sodium. My brother had to give up ranch dressing due to a low sodium diet. Do you have any more no sodium recipes?

      Hi Myrna, thanks for stopping by! I am glad you found this recipe useful. Most of my recipes would be considered low sodium because they are homemade and you can control the amount of salt you add. Most whole foods, clean eating, Paleo recipes are low sodium. Convenience food and packaged food is typically high sodium because of the preservatives to extend the shelf-life.I hope this was helpful!

    To make the actual dressing, how what else do you add to the seasoning?
