Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix – No MSG
Ranch dressing is a staple in most kitchens, including mine. However, the dressing in our home has no MSG, Maltodextrin, or other unknown “spices” because I have been making my own ranch dressing for years.
It seriously tastes just like the Hidden Valley version, perhaps even better.
I am going to give you the recipe so you can make up your own homemade Ranch Dressing Mix. More information on MSG.
Only SIX ingredients!
While you are measuring out ingredients, you might as well make enough for several batches.
This will save you a lot of time. The recipe below will make enough for four batches. Each batch has approximately 16, 2 tablespoon servings.
FOUR batch recipe
- Garlic powder, 1 tsp.
- Dried Onion Flakes, 4 tsp.
- Dried Parsley Flakes, 2 Tablespoons ( or 4 Tablespoons fresh)
- Black Pepper, 2 tsp.
- Salt, 2 tsp.
- Onion Powder, 2 tsp
Simply add all the ingredients to a jar and shake well. Label the jar and store it with the rest of your spices.
Use 1 TB of the mix to make dips, salad dressing, and other recipes that call for Ranch Dressing Mix.
