Shelf stable ranch dressing mix and how to make ranch dressing or dip with it



We have been using this for years and anyone who tries it loves it. Most don’t even realize it isn’t Hidden Valley.

Shelf stable ranch mix
1 cup buttermilk powder (make sure it doesn’t have to be refrigerated after opening) We love the one from Azure Standard
3 tablespoons parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons dill
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoons dried chive
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 t sugar (in the video I said the wrong amount of sugar)
Mix all together and store in an air tight container
To make dressing – mix 3 tablespoons mix with 1 cup mayo and 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup milk.
To make ranch dip – 3 tablespoon mix, 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream. Let this sit for about an hour in the fridge to thicken and get tasty!

    Thanks for sharing! The recipe I had was a little different, this one sounds perfect. Will make this one next. I would love to see how you menu plan etc. Again, thanks for sharing 😊

  3. @juditrimble2604

    Would you please share the Golden Balsamic dressing recipe? Thank you! PS: I check every morning for a new video from y’all! 🥰🥰

  5. @rachelmandoka7423

    I do the same thing when I have to buy groceries.
    I also put a paper on the cupboard door, to write down items I need on a regular basis and this helps me stick to what I only need.

    I found your channel and subscribed a couple weeks ago and I am addicted. Your content is very relevant. Keep up the good work. ❤

    This is the same recipe I’ve used for years and it is so good! I also make a honey mustard and a balsamic vinaigrette. It has been years since I’ve bought a salad dressing, even when I’m feeding a hundred or more people at a time. Homemade is so much better and way cheaper! And plus, doesn’t it feel good to make it yourself? Love your channel!

  10. @michaelap4269

    i tried to find buttermilk powder here in france but it is too expensive ( the shipping costs are amazing ) do you have a substitute ??? thank you

  11. @shawnswain5813

    Hi! Sooooo, I was reading the recipe while you talked…you said “tablespoons” but the recipe says “teaspoons”. Can you clarify please?

  12. @fredacornfield5456

    I love your real food recipes! Thank you.
    Would you confirm which recipe is correct for your ranch dip? Verbally, you said, 2T mix to 1 c sour cream. The written recipe says 3T mix, 1 c mayo plus 1 c sour cream.
    Big fan of ranch!!

  13. @Maria-cy7xd

    Yes please! Pretty much anything you post, it’s a guarantee watch from me plus I need some new ideas!
    Glad to hear everyone is safe and well! 🙏🏽
    Can’t wait to make the dip this weekend! 😋

  16. @lynhanna917

    I use the mix but instead of sour cream i use plain greek yoghurt. The texture and taste doesn't change and since i never have sour cream on hand it's a good substitute

  17. @wildrosetreasuresva1837

    Thank you so much for sharing. I just threw out several open, expired bottles of salad dressing. Making dressing or dip as needed will eliminate wasting food. 😊

    I use have menu out my family's meals all the time. it was cheaper that way. What i did before anything was i made a list of all the meals that we liked and ate. Then make sure to sperate so i didn't have all the chicken meals together etc. i had a very picky family, however was still able to come up with over 31 meals. Going off that list i could meal prep for the whole month without eating the same thing more than once a month.

    I am the only one who checks the fridge and my hubby is diabetic, he will never tell me what he wants to eat and I never know when he will be home to eat, it is tough to plan anything. He wants hot food when he is ready for it. I stopped cooking and we eat sandwiches because I work two jobs and can’t stand forever making food when I get home. I am exhausted at 68 and need low carb quick meals. Your videos are fantastic

  20. @pamtippett1589

    Ooooo, the Golden Balsamic with honey sounds wonderful. Do share! Also, I do think that menu/meal/budget planning would be awesome. So many don’t know where to start. I’m a bit jelly that your hubby does it with you. Mine won’t. However, we established a while back that I will make what I make and he can eat it or not! 🙂 So there! Haha!

  21. @stefr9004

    Thank you sooo much. We have 5 grown children and 5 grandchildren so we use bucket loads of ranch! Will Def try this today!! By the way I love your little yellow dress…adorable!!

  22. @MsK-xm7vw

    I’ve only recently found your channel, so I’m extremely happy that you did this recipe again, or I would have never seen it.❣️

  23. @jeaniekrieger6619

    I really like the topic of your videos and the charm you narrate, like your best friend is talking to you. 🙂 I bought the buttermilk powder from Azure Standard last year and it arrived like a brick. I try to literally chip away at it, but don't use it as much as I should. I wonder if anyone has suggestions on how to bring it back to powder form? (I know, I should contact Azure Standard, but that's not my strong trait). Comments welcome.

  25. @mentha_101

    This is a bit more simple than the recipe I use. I add true lemon and a few other herbs to mine. It's hard to find all the ingredients, cheaply. I will have to try your recipe.

  30. @cliviascreations

    It’s pretty hot here today, 101. AZ is just to much this year, maybe because I am getting older but I don’t remember last year being so hot at this time. Love watching you All, thank you😊

  32. @hanahgodfrey3316

    So last week I had never heard of you, but this week I have watch several of your videos! Now to just implement what I am learning! Lol

  36. @elysiana8889

    I have to look into getting some buttermilk powder. I can rarely find buttermilk in stores here. Not even the powder so amazon it will be.

  38. @stefr9004

    Love your videos!! Thank youuuu ♥!! Can you make a large batch of your italian seasoning packets please? I buy them almost as often as the ranch packets unfortunately. Also, when i wzs much younger, kraft had a bacon and tomato salad dressing. It was my fave and i cantfind anything similar. Any ideas? I do use catalina alot on my salad. Thats another good one. Thanks for all your hard work and honesty and making it fun to be thrifty!!
