❔ FAQ
Without buttermilk powder, it will last in an airtight container or jar for about 1 year.
A ranch seasoning packet usually contains buttermilk powder. You could add 2-3 tbsp of buttermilk powder to the mixture if you'd like.
Recommendation: Buttermilk Powder
Not quite. Ranch dip usually has sour cream, so it is much thicker than ranch dressing.
In a small bowl, make a simple dry ranch seasoning blend with parsley, pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme.
