Why this is the best homemade dairy-free ranch seasoning mix
I used to love ranch dressing and the thicker the better! Who’s with me?
When I weighed nearly 300 lbs , I would use the popular brand of ranch dressing and think I was eating healthy because, after all, I was eating it on a salad or dipping veggies. Little did I know then that two tablespoons had 140 calories and 14 grams of fat!
As bad as that is, making your own salad dressing using the famous brand of dry ranch seasoning mix isn’t much better.
The first two ingredients are salt and monosodium glutamate, aka MSG. MSG can cause all sorts of reactions like headaches, facial pressure, numbness, drowsiness, and tingling. If you’ve ever experienced a reaction to MSG you know you want to avoid it.
I decided to make my own homemade ranch seasoning mix and make it as healthy as possible. Obviously, I eliminated the MSG, but I also eliminated the dairy and soy. I cut back on the sodium and if you want to cut back on the sodium content, you could completely eliminate the salt.
There are many reasons why this ranch seasoning recipe is better than store-bought packets:
- It’s healthier! No MSG, no dairy, and much more flavor!
- You can make your own ranch dressing much cheaper than what you can buy in the grocery stores.
- Dairy-free ranch dressing is very versatile. You can use it to make homemade ranch dip, this incredible Taco Soup, or vegan ranch salad dressing, and even use it to add ranch flavor to bland foods like potatoes or vegetables.
