How to Use It:

Use 2 tablespoons of this seasoning mix to replace a standard 1-ounce store packet in any recipe. It’s perfect for:

Homemade ranch dressing (just mix with sour cream, mayo, and milk or buttermilk)
Ranch dip for veggies or chips
Seasoning popcorn, potatoes, pretzels, or roasted veggies
Adding to chicken breading or meat marinades

Storage Tips:
Keep your seasoning in a cool, dry place like your pantry. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months in an airtight container. If you choose to freeze it, be sure it’s in a moisture-proof jar or bag with no air inside. Avoid storing near steam-producing appliances to preserve its shelf life.

Helpful Tips:

Grinding the mix helps distribute the herbs more evenly and allows it to blend better into dips and dressings.
Avoid using a food processor—spice grinders are more effective for fine, uniform results.
Make a double or triple batch to always have some on hand!

Homemade seasonings like this one make it easy to cut back on store-bought mixes and take control of what goes into your food. Try it once, and I bet you’ll keep a jar in your pantry from now on!
