Everyone's favorite Ranch Seasoning Mix, made right in your own home. It takes just minutes to make and is Keto friendly, without added preservatives or fillers.

When I started Keto, I really began to focus on using the cleanest ingredients I could possibly find. That eliminated a lot of pre-packaged seasoning mixes. Most all store-bought seasoning packets include maltodextrin, dextrose or other preservatives that's best to avoid.

So, I set out to create a homemade a version without all the bad stuff but also without losing any of the flavor. This recipe hits the nail on the head.

It tastes even better than store-bought. It has the absolute best balance of garlicy onion flavor with the perfect amount of dill. The secret to giving it the classic flavor everyone loves it the buttermilk powder.

Ranch Dressing Mix is so much more than just a dressing or dip mix. It's used in many recipes, like my Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast, for a zesty and flavorful seasoning. With this Keto version, you can enjoy the traditional savory flavors of Ranch Seasoning but in a MUCH healthier version.

Once you've started making your own, you'll love using it to season chicken, veggies, beef or mixed up as a dressing or dip. You'll fall in love with the punch of flavor it provides!

Tips or Storing Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix

The seasonings in this recipe are not only MUCH better than store-bought, it's economical too. One question that gets asked a lot is, "Can I make Ranch Seasoning Mix ahead?" You sure can! In fact, you can even make up extra batches, pack them in these cute little jars and give them away for house warming or other gifts.

By following a few tips, your Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix will stay fresh for a up to several months:

• Store in an airtight container like these. Exposure to air can cause it to lose its flavor quickly.
• Either label with the date you made your seasoning or you can keep a log of when you made it. This ensures you always have a fresh batch on hand.
• Keep in a dark place like a pantry or kitchen cabinet. Just like exposure to air, direct sunlight will also affect the longevity of its flavor.
• Heat will also cause it to lose its flavor quickly. It's best to keep it in a cabinet or pantry away from any heat source like your stove or dishwasher.
• Don't store your spices in the freezer. Seasonings don't hold up well when exposed to moisture.
