Ranch seasoning is a staple in our house but it can be kinda expensive which is why I started making it from scratch. This dry seasoning mix is easy to make, store, and use. Once you start making it you’ll wonder why you ever purchased it pre-made before!
A flavorful, homemade version of ranch seasoning. It is a mix of parsley, dill weed, and a few other common household herbs.
