I picked up this recipe for Ranch Dressing Mix on a recipe website (sorry, cannot remember which one) because I have a passion for ranch dressing, particularly on my veggie wrap sandwiches  Those things which I refuse to give up I somehow find ways to "tweak"!!
Ranch Dressing Mix
15 saltine crackers powdered in blender or food processor
1 cup dry minced parsley flakes
1/2 cup dry minced onions
2 tablespoons dry dill weed
1/2 cup onion salt
1/2 cup garlic salt
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
In mixing bowl combine all ingredients, store tightly covered in cool dark place. To mix use 1 tablespoon mix to 1 cup soy or rice milk and 1 cup "safe" alternative mayo or soy sour cream... spectacular!!!!!!! (The soy sour cream is actually a pretty good alternative to the mayo as it gives that creamy texture, wonder if tofu would work..hmm...)
Enjoy,
Diane

Bev, I know some recipes call for ranch dressing mix. For example, my mom makes a great grilled veggie dish that uses it for flavor. She hasn't made it since I stopped being able to eat the packets of ranch dressing because they contain buttermilk powder, so I'll have to try it with this mix as soon as it's warm enough to grill!

Kree, I wasn't going to say anything, but -- you guys know me by now -- I can't keep my mouth shut for long. I tried one of those Ranch dressing recipes once -- I believe it was baked "new" potatoes -- and, although I followed the recipe to the letter, they came out WAAAAY too salty! We couldn't eat them and had to throw them out. Of course, we're older and can't have salt anyway, so we're real sensitive to anything salty. Try it -- maybe it'll come out better for you -- but watch that salt!

Hi back Bevrs! Yep, I use this for salad greens and for diping and for marinating and most especially for my beloved turkey wrap sandwiches (flat bread or tortilla, spread w/ dressing, julianned cucumbers fresh spinach or romaine lettuce core removed and low salt turkey breast all rolled up= lunch many many days of the week) If salt is a problem for you adjust the recipe to include higher quantities of the powdered seasonings instead of salts ie. the onion and garlic. That's the beauty of the mix, you can adjust it to your tastes and because you control what you mix it with you guarantee it will be "safe" for you to eat. This mix is super inexpensive to make and you won't want for that bottled stuff out of the store. Kree is right, every package of dressing and most dip mixes have some form of dairy inside and the premade ones in bottles- forget it.
