This CopyCat Hidden Valley Ranch Mix Recipe is going to save me some $$’s and also some unwanted trips to the grocery. If you are a fan of ranch, you will love this ranch seasoning mix recipe too! For years I have always been the person who brought the veggie platter to picnics. When pressed for time a veggie tray is so quick and easy to whip up. I never was one to purchase store bought platters as I never really cared for the store ranch dressing they include with the prepackaged platters.
Copycat Hidden Valley Ranch Mix Recipe
My daughter and I LOVE Hidden Valley Ranch Dip. We are so addicted and we are constantly running low on Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mixes. Dip mixes are one of those items that you never really seem to find a good stock up price. I often find myself making unexpected trips to the grocery just for a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix. Now that I have whipped up this CopyCat Hidden Valley Ranch Mix… that will no longer be the case.
DIY Hidden Valley Ranch Mix is so simple to make and is so much cheaper than purchasing all those over priced envelopes. This homemade ranch seasoning mix will be great for making your favorite dips, dressing and also great for cooking. The flavors were perfect so much so that my daughter did not recognize the difference when I added some mix to the sour cream I had on hand. This mix tastes just like Hidden Valley Ranch.

Awesome! This is great! I’ve been looking for how to copy hidden valley ranch seasoning. Pinning to remember, thanks for sharing!
thanks for the recipe. Thanks for linking up at Tell Me About It Tuesday. We hope you hop over and share with us again next week.
totally loving this! I love their dressing, but can’t justify buying it since we don’t use it super frequently. Definitely going to use this now :) Originally visiting from Link Party Palooza- pinning this recipe now!

You should keep this mix in the fridge because the buttermilk powder must be refrigerated after opening. It says so on the back lable.
Ah! GREAT point! I never woulda thought of that. Thanks!
You don’t mention what kind of liquid, are you just suppose to add water, how much to go with those 2 tbsp. how much dressing does this amount make, you suggest sour cream is this just for dips, also how much sour cream, please reply, thank you !
TRY one cup of mayo your favorite. I like Kraft but you choose. And 1/4 cup of light buttermilk to start. Add more to your taste. Then add roasted garlic or horseradish if you want flavored ranch. You can also use pepper sauce, because some like it hot!
If I wanted to leave the MSG (Accent) out, do you recommend increasing any of the other ingredients?
How much liquid and what kind is needed to mix with the dry ingredients? Please.
Great recipe but i was wondering what kind of liquid to add in it. Does it require water or sour cream or something else.
I to, am wondering about the liquid required. Please respond. The recipe sounds great if we can just get the rest of it.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I know Hidden Valley Ranch offers packets to mix dressings or dips. I assume there’s a difference in the ingredients… do you know which type you modeled your recipe after? HVR original ranch dressing mix is the only ranch I ever use (I’m a ranch snob!), so I’ve been looking for a copycat recipe forever.
To previous posters asking about what to add, I’ve never made the dip, but I make the dressing all the time. It takes 1 cup of milk (you can use buttermilk or whole milk… I’ve even used skim milk) and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Using those proportions, I think for the dip you could use 2 cups of sour cream or yogurt (regular or Greek).
I can’t thank you enough for this recipe! I’m living in Africa and I can’t get ranch here, but a few expensive care packages from my family have managed to get my boyfriend addicted to the stuff! Now I can make it at home saving me soooo much money and shipping headaches. I can’t get powdered garlic or onion powder here, so I just use granulated garlic and double the dried onions and it’s perfect! Thank you again!
