Ranch Dressing Mix Recipe
As I get busier and busier with life and kids (you know how it is), I become more partial to having mixes on hand.
It makes cooking from scratch, and therefore saving money, a lot less time-consuming.
Ranch dressing is easy enough to make from scratch, and even my favorite avocado-lime ranch dressing isn’t too time-consuming, but it’s nice to be able to just grab the pre-made ranch dressing mix and go. Especially for ranch veggie dip.
If you have a hard time sticking to making your own salad dressing, even though you know it’s so much healthier than buying it – and I’ll admit, I’m one of those people – this dressing mix will make it SO much easier!
This mix is especially handy for a dip. Just add some sour cream and go with it!
As for the dressing, I love how easy it has been to customize to my whims. For instance, lately, I’ve been leaving out the mayonnaise and adding extra yogurt in its place to lighten up the calorie/fat load, and also make it easier to whip up since I make my own mayonnaise from scratch.

How many tablespoons of ranch dressing mix for dressing and for dip. It reads “tablespoons”. But does not give quantity.
(Unless you wittily placed that next to your numbering system: 6. &. 9 )
Thank you!
Oops! Looks like I accidentally deleted that when we were migrating to the new recipe plugin. ugh! So sorry!
It’s supposed to be 3 Tablespoons for both. (and it’s fixed now)
Thanks for catching that error!
The recipe is still not reading correctly on this page as the tablespoon number is not showing yet. I got it from reading the comments. Also, is it 1 cup sour cream for the dip?
