Instructions

Gather all the ingredients and tools you’ll need before starting. Be sure to have a mixing bowl, whisk, and each seasoning pre-measured. Prepping everything first keeps the process quick and stress-free.
Add the buttermilk powder and dried chives to your mixing bowl. These two ingredients add creaminess and a fresh, herby flavor to your low-carb ranch base. Mixing them first helps create a smooth foundation for the rest.
Now, toss in the salt, granulated garlic, garlic powder, black pepper, dried parsley, and dried dill. These herbs and spices create that classic ranch flavor you know and love. Double-check that all the ingredients are in before moving on.
Use your whisk to mix everything until the seasoning is fully combined. Make sure there are no clumps and the blend looks uniform. Your DIY dry ranch seasoning is now ready to sprinkle on meats and veggies or make into ranch dips.

Notes

Use Dry Buttermilk Powder for Authentic Flavor: This gives your seasoning that classic creamy tang without needing fresh ingredients. Make sure it’s completely dry to prevent clumping in storage.
Shake Before Each Use: The spices may settle at the bottom over time. A quick shake helps remix the ingredients evenly before you use them.
Double the Batch for Convenience: Make a bigger batch if you use ranch often. It saves time and ensures you always have some ready for quick seasoning or dips.
