Looking for a "clone recipe" for Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix? This is the one!!! Mix up this DRY powder mix and store it in an airtight jar for up to six months!! What a great thing to have on hand over the holidays!!!
HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH CLONE
3/4 CUP BUTTERMILK POWDER (see note below)
2 TABLESPOONS DRY PARSLEY
1 TEASPOON DRY DILL
1 TABLESPOON ONION POWDER (not onion salt)
2 TEASPOONS DRY ONION FLAKES
1 1/2 TEASPOONS GARLIC POWDER (not garlic salt)
1 TEASPOON KOSHER SALT
1/2 TEASPOON COARSE BLACK PEPPER
2 TEASPOONS DRY CHIVES
1/4 TEASPOON DRY THYME
Don't "freak out" about all of the onion in this recipe...you will NOT taste it.
Put all of the above ingredients into your food processor and give it a couple of 10 second pulses, then it's ready to use. This DRY mix lasts 6 months in an airtight jar, just give it a hard shake before you spoon it out.
I like Hoosier Hill Farm Buttermilk Powder
from Amazon.com, but any Buttermilk Powder will work.
You will find it on the baking aisle
or near the powdered milk section.
For 1 batch of salad dressing, whisk the following together:
3 Tablespoons of the DRY MIX
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup of milk
Make sure you chill this mixture in the fridge overnight. If you taste it right after you whisk it all together, you are NOT going to be happy with it..........but SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENS to it overnight........ it really THICKENS UP and tastes just like commercial ranch dressing.......trust me!! 😉
NOTE: BUTTERMILK POWDER lasts almost indefinitely in the fridge if you keep the lid tightened down. It's great for baking too!!
3 TABLESPOONS DRY MIX EQUALS 1 PKT.
