INGREDIENT NOTES
Ranch Seasoning: My favorite is McCormicks 3-1 Seasoning Dip and Dressing Mix because there is no MSG. You can also use regular ranch packets like these.
Milk: This is optional based on how you want to consistency of your dressing/dip. If you are using it for more of a dip, then you can omit the milk. However, if you want it more pourable, you will need to add a bit of milk. Buttermilk works perfectly too! Any type of cow’s milk works-1%, 2%, whole milk, etc.)
