There is another recipe for making ranch dressing mix that uses dehydrated buttermilk instead. It also has no MSG. It is found in the Mix-A-Meal Cookbook at www.mixameal.com.

Omit them completely and just use less of the seasoning mix. We don't eat much with hydrogenated oil, either, so I do understand. I gave it a pass in this case as it's not an every day item.

Can the Saltines be replaced with another type of cracker? I try not to eat hydrogenated oils, which they have. However, I love the idea of having my own mix ready to go. I love good ranch dressing, but have found it amazingly hard to find in any type of bottled dressing. I think mainly I've had the best stuff in restaurants.

It’s chilling in the fridge as we speak. Can’t wait to try it.

They add a shelf stable thickener and fat to the mix. Saltines have shortening, but shortening doesn’t give me headaches the way MSG does. You could make it without them, but you’d definitely want to use full fat buttermilk and consider adding some (just a little) corn starch. It would take a little experimentation to keep it from being very runny.
