This homemade ranch dip is full of all of the familiar herbs and spices, but has no preservatives like the store bought version. The homemade ranch powder is easy to make and keeps in the fridge for months!
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a resealable container.
Stir 3 tablespoons of the dry mix into the sour cream. You can serve the dip immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Add the fresh parsley on top right before serving.
Refrigerate the remaining dry mix for future use.
Notes
Dried herbs and spices tend to lose their potency over time. Make sure your herbs and spices are no more than 6 months old for the best results.
Powdered buttermilk is often sold in a tin near the other powdered milk products. It’s inexpensive and lasts a long time but the can does need to be refrigerated after it’s opened. Which means you’ll also need to refrigerate your powdered dip mix until you’re ready to use it.
If you can’t find buttermilk powder, substitute 2 tablespoons of the sour cream for 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
