    Easy Homemade Ranch Dressing on $5 Dinners

    I love, love, love my homemade taco seasoning mix.

    It’s convenient, cheap and oh-so-tasty. And I’m mixing up a new homemade seasoning mix today…this time for ranch dressing!

    This past weekend I planted some lettuce and other cold weather veggies.  I try to eat a salad for lunch everyday and usually mix up a quick vinaigrette. And while I love my vinaigrettes, I also like variety. 

    I’ve been craving ranch dressing lately and much prefer this dairy-free homemade ranch dressing.  While I wait for the fresh parsley, dill and basil to grow up in the garden and be ready for some “fresh herbs” ranch dressing mix, I plan on using this version with the dried spices until then.

    I also love this because it costs a fraction of what you would pay for a packet at the store, and makes twice as much!

    Before we get to the recipe, how about a few homemade seasoning mixes to try out!

      This is a great recipe to have in your arsenal! My best friend and I tried to make ranch dressing ourselves and it was very similar to your recipe above. Once tip I have…to decrease the fat content, I used Greek yogurt. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

        Mix the seasonings with 1/2 C powdered buttermilk.

        Approx. 1 T in 1 tub of sour cream gives nice, thick ranch dip, just like you get with Hidden Valley but without the MSG and less salt.

        Don’t add sugar. Not needed. Use full-fat sour cream – fat is not your enemy, sugar is.

        Oops! Should have noted that I do not use the celery salt either. I didn’t remember it was still
        there. I use crushed dried celery flakes, instead. I make these almost “free” by snipping off the leaves of stalks of celery, placing them in a single layer in a shallow container, and just letting them sit on my counter 2 0r 3 days until the leaves are dry. I mix hem up a little each day. I then store the dried leaves in a plastic bag and crush them to put in seasoning mixes and into soups and stews.

      Thank you SO much! While I love being frugal, I love no-additive recipes even more, since carrageenan causes me so much pain, and is being used in more and more foods (recently found it in pre-packaged deli meats!) Check the last paragraph of this page:
      http://www.starthrower.org/research/kelpmisc/kelp_mp.htm

      I’m pretty sure other kinds of kelp don’t bother me, since I tolerate California rolls just fine. I handle other thickeners fine too, just something about carrageenan and me don’t get along.

      And artichokes just aren’t the same with Italian dressing LOL

      This is a great base: I love to use buttermilk as a direct substitution for the milk, it’s fat free and makes the dressing really creamy.
      You can also puree avocado in place of the Mayo and it’s green goddess dressing. This version is simply awesome when drizzled over a chilled iceberg wedge!

      I got a recipe years ago for using the Hidden Valley packet on cut up potatoes with a little olive oil. It was a favorite of my husband even those we are not ranch dressing fans. We haven’t had it in ages because the cost of the packets were too expensive. I am excited to try this and see if it tastes just as yummy. I am also going to try it with the sour cream to see if it makes the dip because I love that with carrots 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!!! I am sure it will be as great as the taco seasoning which was a hit with the family 🙂

        January 25, 2012 at 11:22 am

        Steve, if you multiply the recipe by 24, you’ll get just under a gallon. So use 8 cups of mayo (or Greek yogurt), 6 cups of milk (or buttermilk), and 1 1/2 cups seasoning mix (which is just under 8x the given recipe). This might not be QUITE a gallon, but it’s the closest easy conversion. Hope this helps!

My comment had been about how my granddaughter Megan uses Ranch Dressing by the quart. She hasn’t tried it yet but it’s a genuine hit with the rest of the family. She’s so particular about Hidden Valley Brand we can’t even buy their lowfat variety. Thank you so much for this recipe! Even if we can’t substitute it for her, the rest of us love it. Now we’re going to try your taco mix! I’m the particular one there because I don’t care for chili powder. I’ll let you know how that comes out. Thanks again.

        I make this all the time. I use 3 Tbsp. of mix (no salt added) with 1 cup each of real mayo and fat free sour cream (kind of helps with calories from the mayo). Mix well and let set several hours. I get raves on this one.

      There is no salt in this? Would you need to add salt when you mixed it up? Regular ranch has a load of salt.

      Thanks for this! I’d actually sub buttermilk for the milk, because that’s what a traditional Ranch Dressing has…but I’m curious if those packets have powdered buttermilk in them at all? I would assume that white powdery substance is dried buttermilk powder, or, in more recent packaging, dried milk powder. It would be an easy addition to add a bit of dried buttermilk powder to this blend to give it that characteristic buttermilk tang.

      You can add 1 Tbsp to 1/3 c. greek yogurt and 1/4 c. buttermilk to make a No mayo version of Buttermilk Ranch Dressing – healthy alternative 🙂 Also use 1 1/2-2 Tbsp to 8 oz low or non-fat Sour Cream for a great dip!

      According to Saveur, the original Ranch has garlic powder, onion powder, chives and parsley. Mix with sour cream and mayo. You can google it. But there’s no dill or basil. Or pepper, I think. I’m sure this will taste good. But not really like Ranch, if you ask me.

      I tried this today with plain greek yogurt for a healthier, cheaper version of ranch and was pretty disappointed. When I’ve made it before using the store bought ranch packet it was delicious but this spice mix didn’t add a lot of flavor, was a little too chunky (parsley not fine enough), and basically just tasted like seasoned yogurt. I’ll be sticking with store bought packets.

        Jennifer, when I made the dry mix, I used my spice grinder to make it more powder-like. I actually found the flavor overpowering when I made it into a veggie dip. I think that I did something wrong. Anyway, next time I will add chives to it and decrease the dill.

        taco seasoning mix : 1 tablespoon chili powder – 2 teaspoons onion powder – 1 teaspoon ground cumin – 1 teaspoon garlic powder – 1 teaspoon paprika – 1 teaspoon powder sugar – 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Makes 3 tablespoons of seasoning mix which is equal to 1/4 ounce package of commerical seasoning mix. P.S. cooks.com also has wonderful recipes for chili seasoning mix. I have tried them and they are very good. I don’t buy the packaged seasoning any more cause they bother my stomach. My son won’t eat the packaged stuff either since i switched over to making my own

          She’s not asking for a taco seasoning recipe; she’s asking if the ranch mix works like a seasoning packet if she were to put it in her taco soup. I have the same question. Gabrielle, the only thing I would say is to give it a shot. Some other commenters seem to think that you would need to add powdered milk or powdered buttermilk. I think when I try it I’ll do that.

      If you’re vegan or sensitive to milk, you can make a killer dip using cashews. Just soak raw cashews in water overnight, then purée in the food processor. Add this seasoning (and a little water to thin, if necessary), and you’ve got an amazing rich dairy-free ranch! My Texan ranch-loving friends didn’t notice a difference!
