http://savoryseasonings.blogspot.com/

8 TBSP dried parsley
2 TBSP dried minced onion
1 TBSP dried chives, optional
2 TBSP black pepper
2 TBSP garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. thyme
2 tsp. oregano
3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. dried dill
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth (you will want to do this or it will be too chunky with all of the parsley). Store in a cool, dry place.

Ranch Dressing:
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 TBSP ranch dry mix
Milk

Blend ingredients, then add milk to desired consistency for salad dressing or omit milk for a Ranch dip. Recipe adapted from Dealstomeals.

A retired chef taught me years ago how to make Ranch dressing. The recipe consisted of sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, milk and then shake in every spice you can think of. I followed this pattern for years until I recently came across this recipe from the Dealstomeals website. It simplifies the process with measurements eliminating the need to taste, adjust the seasonings, then taste again. This blend has great flavor and it’s great to have the dry mix on hand. This dry mix is also great mix into ground beef for hamburgers!
