BHA & BHT Free Ranch Seasoning Mix
That creamy, herby flavor you love on salads, dips, and roasted vegetables doesn't have to come from a packet loaded with preservatives. Many store-bought seasoning blends rely on synthetic additives like BHA and BHT to extend shelf life, which makes finding a clean version surprisingly tricky. This homemade mix solves that problem with a simple whisk-and-store approach using nothing but real dried herbs and spices you likely already have on hand. Dried buttermilk powder brings that signature tangy creaminess, while dill, chives, parsley, garlic, and onion powder layer in all the classic ranch flavor you're after. A touch of dried mustard and optional paprika round things out with just a little depth and warmth. The whole thing comes together in minutes and keeps in an airtight jar for up to three months, so you can batch it ahead and reach for it whenever you need it. Use it to season dips, salad dressings, marinades, or roasted potatoes — the possibilities are genuinely endless.
