FAQ

How long does this Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix keep?

When stored in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry place, this mix will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

Can I adjust the spice level of the mix?

Yes, you can increase the cracked black pepper for more heat or add an extra teaspoon of mustard powder for a sharper 'bite'.

What is the best liquid base to use with this seasoning?

To keep it clean-eating, whisk together 1 cup organic avocado oil (or melted butter), 1/2 cup organic plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of this seasoning mix.

Why is this cleaner than the store-bought packets?

Store-bought packets often contain anti-caking agents, fillers, and natural flavorings that are actually chemically processed; this version uses only recognizable organic ingredients.

Can I substitute any of the herbs?

Yes, if you prefer a milder flavor, you can replace the dill weed with an additional tablespoon of parsley.

What is a common mistake when making this mix?

Ensure the spices are thoroughly whisked; clumped garlic or onion powder will cause uneven seasoning in your final dressing.
