We get a lot of veggies every week that can be  eaten raw.  I have always been a fan of ranch dip for this purpose, but I don’t like that every brand in stores is loaded with MSG.

The solution of course is to make your own!  I decided to put together a mix that I can then turn into ranch dip/dressing in a snap.

This mix is incredibly versatile.  You can make both dip and dressing out of it.  You can also sprinkle it on homemade potato chips for some extra special flavor.

Ranch Mix

1/2 cup buttermilk powder

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

2 teaspoons granulated onion

1 teaspoon dried chives

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

*Note: Buttermilk powder is easy to come by.  It can be found in the baking section of your grocery store by the powdered milk.

Ranch Dip

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Ranch Mix

1/2 cup Mayo

1/2 cup Sour Cream

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.

Ranch Dressing

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Ranch mix
