What Is Ranch Dressing Mix Made Of?
Ranch dressing mix is made of a blend of dried herbs and spices, usually including garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, chives, and sometimes paprika. These ingredients are combined with salt, sugar, and often buttermilk powder to create the tangy, savory flavor that is characteristic of ranch dressing. The mix can be added to sour cream or mayonnaise, along with a little milk or water, to make a creamy, versatile dressing that is popular for dipping, salad dressing, or as a flavoring for other dishes like pasta or chicken.
