Can Ranch Dip Be Used As Seasoning?

Absolutely! You can season your chicken, beef, pork, sausage, eggs, or just about anything you want with this homemade dry ranch seasoning!

TIP: Sprinkle it on some chicken and cook the chicken in a cast-iron skillet with olive oil or on the grill. OR add it to your ground beef when you are making hamburgers. You are going to be blown away by the way it tastes.

How Long Does Dry Ranch Mix Last?

As long as you keep it airtight, it will last for 6-8 months. Be sure to keep the ranch away from sunlight, heat, and moisture, as those things will make it go bad much quicker. Storing it in an airtight container will work, but a glass mason jar is hard to beat. The lid fits snug and can be kept in your fridge, in the freezer, or in your pantry without any issues.

Is Ranch Dip Mix Gluten Free?

Yes! All the ingredients in this homemade ranch mix are all naturally gluten free. You will still need to read your packages to ensure that they aren’t processed in a facility where cross-contamination to gluten can occur.
