Ranch Seasoning – For Dressing, Dip & Ranch Burgers

This Ranch Seasoning is designed to be used for salad dressing, veggie dip, or Ranch burgers! Very handy to have in the pantry!

Ranch dressing is as American as apple pie – maybe only less like food and more like a science experiment. If you don’t believe me, go read the ingredient list of the bottle in your fridge right now. Go ahead, I’ll wait…

Gross, right? (Did you notice the MSG?)

So the goal here was to pre-mix the spices that make Ranch so tasty. Then store them so that I could use them flexibly and quickly. So go mix up some Ranch Seasoning and store it in an airtight container – like a Mason jar. (Don’t forget to label your jar!) Then the next time you need salad dressing or Ranch burgers you are ready!

Also, I use Greek yogurt instead of the traditional Mayo since mayonnaise is so processed. After all, the goal was to get get rid of the processed stuff! Don’t be afraid to play around with this blend. Make it to your own taste – or in my case, I make it the way my little kids will eat it if carrots are attached!
