Notes
Storing Seasoning:
Store spice mix in an airtight container for up to several months. Keep in mind that the seasoning mix should keep as long as the expiration dates on the individual seasoning bottles. Thus, the newer and fresher the individual seasonings, the longer the mix will keep.
Usage Suggestions:
Make ranch dressing by combining 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning with 1 cup of mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt, and 1 cup of milk. Add 1 tablespoon to a bag of hot popcorn or to a savory Chex mix recipe with the other ingredients. Use 1 tablespoon in any recipe that calls for a package of Ranch Dressing and Seasoning Mix.
