The beauty of Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix is that it's always ready... waiting for you. All you need is a jar, a cup of milk, a cup of mayonnaise, a little whisking, and VOILA!... you have a jar full of the good stuff. A whole two cups of Ranch dressing mix that's indistinguishable from it's commercially purchased counterpart.
Put the buttermilk, 1 ½ tablespoons of the parsley flakes, granulated garlic and onion, onion flakes, dill weed, chives, salt, and pepper in the carafe of a blender. Pulse about 8 to 10 times, or until the onion flakes, parsley, and chives are broken down very small and almost powdered like commercially available ranch dressing mix. Stir in the remaining parsley flakes and transfer to a jar with a tight fitting lid. Store the mix in a tightly lidded container at cool room temperature in a dark place for up to 6 months. You may need to break up clumps from time to time. Shake the closed container to do so, or use a fork to break apart especially tenacious clumps.
