Homemade Ranch Dip {Say Goodbye to Expensive Packets}

Homemade Ranch Dip 2

 
I’ve been a bit of a veggie and dip maniac lately. I just love Homemade Ranch Dip. I used to buy the Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Packets but realized I could adjust my mom’s Homemade Ranch Dressing recipe to make a delicious and much more affordable dip.

Homemade Ranch Dip Seasoning Salt

The recipe calls for Bon Appettit Seasoning Salt. Any type of seasoning salt would probably still yeild great results, but this is what my mom has always used and what I use too.

Simple and fantastic recipe for Ranch Dip. Also tastes great as a baked potato topping or dip for buffalo chicken wings.

Homemade Ranch Dip

I learned the 3-4 drops of vinegar trick from the Amish. I think it makes the dip extra delicious. Try it and see what you think.

Enjoy!

Keep it Real!!!

    Thanks I’ll definitely try after discovering ranch dip mix has MSG which I avoid like the plague.

    Going to try tomorrow and maybe I will use one clove fresh garlic instead of garlic salt, I love fresh garlic & with garlic press.

      Sounds good to me, just add a little more salt or bon-appetite to make up the salt difference. Looking forward to the Par-tay!

      You can substitute celery salt mixed with onion salt for the bon appetite
