Homemade Ranch Dip Mix together 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix along with 1 cup sour cream (or Greek Yogurt) and 2 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk (for a richer taste). For dairy-free, use dairy-free sour cream or dairy-free yogurt of choice and plant-based milk of choice.
Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning with 1 cup of mayo (can sub Greek Yogurt), 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk (depending on how thick or thin you want the dressing), and 2 tsp apple cider vinegar. For dairy-free, use dairy free sour cream and plant based milk of choice.
- Feel free to exclude the buttermilk powder or replace it with powder soy or coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- If you choose to use coconut milk powder, be mindful that it imparts a robust coconut flavor. Additionally, for the dip and dressings, you can use dairy-free coconut milk and sour cream.
- If you opt out of using the powder, refrigeration isn't necessary, and it will last as long as the shelf life of the dry seasoning you incorporate.
