Applejack’s Family Ranch Seasoning

What It Is

Parsley, garlic, onion, dill, chives, basil, pepper and salt make a dry ranch-style blend for mayo, dips, chicken or anything else that has been acting painfully plain.

Origin

American ranch-style seasoning wearing an Applejack hat. The orchard is fictional; dill remains stubbornly real.

Fun Fact

Ranch dressing was developed in the United States in the mid-20th century and became so popular it now behaves less like a condiment and more like a national infrastructure project.

Substitutions

This dried herb and spice blend is forgiving — adjust any single ingredient up or down based on taste. Dried chives can replace some of the onion flakes for a milder onion flavour.

Storage

Store airtight at room temperature for up to 1 year, though the herbs smell best within about 6 months.

Freezing

Freezing is usually unnecessary for a small batch of sauce. If you do freeze it, use small portions and expect creamy or emulsified sauces to need a good whisk after thawing.
