In our household Ranch is a staple for mealtime. We used to buy premade Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, then progressed to the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing dry mix pack. This obsession with Ranch has driven us to create our very own Ranch Mix. We are excited to share with you the different ways we enjoy using our Ranch Mix as well as how we have created a better version (both in depth of flavor and preservative free) of Ranch Dressing and Dip.
As we have developed our understanding of the importance of what we put in our bodies, we have discovered that homemade truly allows you to know what you are putting in your body. In our mixes we sell at our family farm Heritage Home Family Farm we pride ourselves on avoiding ingredients that are harmful to our bodies. Basically, everything we create we feed to our own family and if it isn’t something we want our kids to have then we will not put it in our mixes.
The ingredients within our Ranch mix will not surprise you and you will be able to read them all, we even grow some of the herbs on our family farm. Truly farm to table, homemade with ease is our mission.
Ok, now to the fun part! We already showed how fast and easy it is to make Ranch dressing and Ranch Dips, here are some other amazing uses for this mix:
