Notes

Homemade Ranch Seasoning

Making your own ranch seasoning is easy, fresher, and way more flavorful than store-bought. Plus, you can use it on everything from steaks and roasted veggies to popcorn and fries.

Just mix 1/4 cup buttermilk powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried dill, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 2 teaspoons dried chives, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Store it in an airtight container, and you're set.
