Ranch Seasoning Mix
Ranch Seasoning Mix
After my celiac disease diagnosis in 2014 and my eventual PCOS diagnosis, I decided to try changing my diet to be gluten and dairy-free. Dairy can be very inflammatory on women's bodies, and mine is significantly impacted by it. You can read more about that here if you'd like.
One of the products that I missed a lot in my new dairy-free lifestyle was ranch. I ordered online and found many dairy-free ranch dressings in grocery stores that didn't taste right. I eventually gave up searching. After realizing I had the rest of my life to live, I needed a dairy-free ranch option, so I went to work in my kitchen, trying to find a blend that I loved. Everyone who has tested my ranch is amazed by the flavor and aftertaste. My ranch is light, refreshing, healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, and flavorful.
The genius of my Ranch Seasoning is that the dressing and dips can be made dairy-free or not. The choice is yours. The recipe is provided for you on the side of every bottle.
Ingredient List:
- Onion, Garlic, Sea Salt, Parsley, Dill, Black Pepper.
Two-year shelf life.
Bottle Dimensions: 5.75" Tall x 2.5" wide

Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth, increase heat to high whisking until thick, about 2 minutes. Add sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic salt, and cooked chicken breast.
