Notes

Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Notes:
The amounts in this recipe will make 1 oz. of ranch seasoning mix - equivalent to a store-bought packet. You can double, triple, etc. the recipe to make ranch seasoning in bulk.
Buttermilk powder can typically be found in the baking aisle of the grocery store. Look near the dried milk powder, evaporated milk, etc.
Lemon juice and buttermilk give the ranch dressing a nice tang/zing.
If you do not have buttermilk powder available, use buttermilk when mixing up the seasoning into dip/dressing. If you don’t have buttermilk or buttermilk powder, just use milk and add a bit of extra lemon juice. (Or make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of whole milk).
Adding just a couple of tablespoons of buttermilk (along with the sour cream and mayonnaise) will make a nice ranch dip consistency.
