Ranch Seasoning Mix
To make Ranch Seasoning Mix, combine the dried seasonings thoroughly and keep the blend sealed so it is ready whenever a recipe needs that punchy ranch backbone. It works because the herb and allium balance tastes homemade instead of chalky and flat.
This ranch seasoning mix combines dried herbs and spices into one jar you can use for dressing, dip, or seasoning chicken whenever the craving hits. No buying the packets anymore.
It's worth making a big batch since it keeps well sealed in the pantry. Combine everything thoroughly so the flavor distributes evenly.
