Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon dried tarragon (optional but recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: dry buttermilk powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried dill, dried chives, fine sea salt, sugar, dried tarragon, fresh cracked black pepper, and mustard powder.
  2. Mix Well: Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until they are evenly blended, ensuring that the herbs and spices are well distributed throughout the buttermilk powder base.

Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste or use a low-sodium salt to make it healthier.
  • Dry buttermilk powder gives the classic tangy ranch flavor and can be found at most grocery stores or online.
  • Use this seasoning blend as a dry rub, mix with sour cream or mayonnaise to make a ranch dip, or blend with buttermilk for a salad dressing.
  • To increase freshness, pulse the herbs in a spice grinder before mixing.
  • Optional: Omit sugar for a sugar-free version.
