Comparing Homemade vs. Packet Ranch Seasoning
A packet of ranch seasoning is about 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning. When making a recipe that calls for a packet of seasoning, just substitute the packet for 2 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning.
What is Buttermilk Powder & Where to Buy It ?
Buttermilk powder is a great way to make this ranch seasoning taste similar to the packet seasoning and adds a creamier taste to the seasoning. Essentially, buttermilk powder is dehydrated buttermilk. I use an organic buttermilk powder that can be purchased at a health foods store or on Amazon.
How To Make Homemade Ranch Seasoning More Like the Packet?
While this seasoning is delicious, it is not identically to the store bought packet. If you prefer for the seasoning to look like the store packet then pulse you seasoning mix in a blender or food processor or crush up a bit between your fingers for a finer powder. Adding additional salt will make it taste more like the store packet, as well.
