Thanks for a great substitute recipe, we don't have dry ranch mix here in Australia so this is super handy for all the recipes I want to try that contains ranch mix. Thanks for posting!

    I made the mistake of thinking I had a packet in the pantry when I didn't. I had all these things on hand, so this was definitely easy and a money-saver. I didn't use this in a dip/dressing yet, but used in another recipe that called for the ranch packet. I will update later with the results. UPDATE: I've made dip with this several times and I am so excited that I found it! It is so much more economical than buying packets and is so easy since these are pantry staples for us. Will continue to use over & over!

    THis recipe makes a great dip, but I didn't really care for it as a dressing. I thought there was too much paprika in it, which turned the mixture a little red-not something I'm used to seeing in Ranch dressing. I found it more appealing after adding some extra garlic, some dill, and a little more sugar, and mixing into sour cream, (like for a dip) and then thinning it out with some vinegar. (I checked the ingredient listing on a bottle of lite Ranch I had in the fridge which gave me some clues as to what was missing). After these adjustments, it was very good, although I'd still cut back on the paprika next time.

    This turned out great! I was making spinach dip yesterday and it called for a packet of dry ranch mix. I thought I had some on hand, but found out otherwise. Recipezaar to the rescue! I found this recipe and I had everything I needed. I doubt I will ever buy the packets again. This tastes great and saves lot of money. Thanks for posting.
