Ranch Seasoning Recipe

Homemade Ranch Seasoning is easy to make and convenient to keep on hand. Use it for dips and dressings or in any recipe that calls for a packet of ranch seasoning.

My girl is obsessed with all things ranch. And while she’s loved Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing as a dip for fresh veggies for years, she’s recently wanted to try all the ranch things after I showed her Dawn Farmer’s TikTok (@dawnnfarmer).

If you aren’t familiar with Dawn, she is a young girl that lives in the U.K. and is known for trying American snacks. After trying ranch dressing for the first time, she too became obsessed with it and people starting sending her every available ranch product from American grocery stores.

Now Elle and I like to browse our local grocery stores for ranch flavored items and we’ve been having so much fun taste testing new to us products like ranch popcorn seasoning, Ranch Corn Nuts and Ranch Pringles and Ranch Veggies Straws. So naturally I thought, let’s try to make our own Homemade Ranch Seasoning.

Homemade Ranch Seasoning is easy to make and convenient to keep on hand. Use it for dips and dressings or in any recipe that calls for a packet of ranch seasoning.

Use 2 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning to replace 1 packet of store-bought ranch seasoning mix.

FAQ

What is ranch seasoning made of?

What can I use instead of a ranch packet?

Mix parsley, seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme together in a small bowl.

Is there a difference between ranch dip and seasoning?

Ingredients. While both are created with ranch seasoning, the other critical ingredients in dip and dressing vary. Ranch dressing is typically composed with buttermilk. Ranch dip’s central ingredient is sour cream, instead of buttermilk, which gives it the firmer consistency.
