How to Use Homemade Ranch Seasoning to Make THE BEST Runny Ranch
This is the runny, creamy restaurant-style ranch of your dreams! Perfect for pizza, wings, snacks, veggies, and any other cause you can invent to eat this ranch!
You will need:
- 2 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup low fat buttermilk
- ½ cup mayo
- ½ cup sour cream
For this recipe, you may want to throw your seasoning mix in the food processor to make sure the herbs are in very small bits, but it works fine to just mix it in as-is, as well.
Otherwise, all you need to do is combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine! Add some milk or buttermilk to thin it out if you think it's too thick. It's best if you chill it for at least a couple of hours afterward to let the flavors marry.

How to Store Homemade Ranch Seasoning
Because of the powdered buttermilk in this recipe, the seasoning needs to be stored in the refrigerator.
Powdered buttermilk, once opened needs to be stored in the refrigerator, and so does this mix which uses it, so that it does not go rancid.
I store mine in a mason jar in the fridge.
