Notes

I use a quart-sized jar.
The dry mix doesn’t have an expiration date. They are all dry ingredients/seasonings that stay shelf stable for a long time. I usually make a double batch of the dry mix once yearly!
T = tablespoon
t = teaspoon
Yes, the recipe is correct. It calls for salt, garlic salt, and granulated garlic. Just trust me on this one.
I have never substituted granulated garlic for garlic powder. The granulated garlic will serve as a thickener when you make actual ranch with the mix. If you use garlic powder, it might not thicken nicely when the liquid ingredients are added.
I chose not to add powdered buttermilk because dairy doesn’t always love me back 😉
