• Adjust thickness by adding more or less milk or yogurt to taste.

Can I use this packet to season meats and roasted vegetables?

Yes—this mix works well as a dry rub or as part of a marinade to add homestyle ranch flavor to chicken, pork, potatoes, and more. For roasting, toss vegetables or potatoes with oil and the seasoning before baking for even flavor coverage and a savory finish.
