DIY Ranch Seasoning: A homemade version of the famous ranch seasoning packet without the added MSG or preservatives. Use this as you would use the pack. 
I don’t know about your family, but my family LOVES ranch dressing. My kids would dip fruit or their sandwiches into it if I let them. The problem with that comes along IF I where to be buying ranch dressing from the store.
Stop and take a look at those ingredients–MSG, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, etc…..gross, right?!
There is no reason to give up your ranch dressing. There is every reason to make your own right at home.
This recipe gives you exactly what you would find in one of those Hidden Valley Ranch Packets. Only without all the nasty additives.
So now you can tell your kids to dip away!

- ½ tsp pepper
Instructions

-
For a dip: Mix seasoning with 1/4 cup mayo and 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt.
I serve this dressing with:
I just made this and there is waaaaaaaay too many spices for the 1/2 cup greek yogurt ratio. I just wasted so much money on spices making this. You need to put in the recipe to only add however much seasoning to the greek yogurt. I thought it seemed like too much before I added it all, but searched the recipe and it says it makes one packet worth, so I went ahead and added it all. Bummer.
Oh my goodness so sorry Lauren, the orginal recipe for the DIY Ranch Dressing is for 1 cup not for 1/2 cup. I am so sorry you misread this. I hate that for you!!! Nothing worse than wasting food. I hope you were able to add in some extra yogurt or mayo to the mix so you were able to use it.
