Make this homemade ranch seasoning mix with simple pantry staples in just 3 minutes – it's bold, zingy, herby, and on hand for dressings, dips, dry rubs, and to season various recipes!
Measure all the spices and place them into a small bowl or jar along with the buttermilk powder.
Mix well, then transfer to an airtight jar.
Store the mix in a clean, airtight glass jar in a cool, dry, dark place away from moisture and direct sunlight, and aim to use it within 3-4 months for the best flavor, up to 6 months before the flavors really decline.

Notes
Use fresh herbs and spices: This will produce the best flavor (and longest shelf life), so check to ensure they aren’t too old.
For the smoothest spice blend: Omit the onion granules and process all the ingredients in a food processor or spice grinder.
A glass container is best: It isn't as porous as plastic, which can cause the aromas of the spices to ‘cling’ to the container and affect any future use.
Adjust the ratio: Tweak the amount of any of the ingredients to suit your palate.
Optional add-ins:
Paprika (Sweet or smoked, for color)
Mustard powder (just a little for a subtle kick)
Cayenne pepper/ red pepper flakes (for a kick of heat)
Lemon zest (dehydrated - For extra bright, citrusy flavor)
Other dried herbs (like basil or cilantro)
Powdered parmesan (or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor)
Sugar (a Ranch packet DOES contain some, so add a pinch if preferred)
