Buttery Ranch Snack Mix

Don’t let the seemingly long ingredient list dissuade you. This snack mix makes a party-size batch that you can store in the fridge for up to one week. Pull it out and share it with last-minute guests—if you can keep yourself from eating it as soon as it’s ready!

You can make the Ranch Mix in advance and store in a tightly sealed jar. You can also try increasing to 2 tablespoons of each ingredient and use in dressings or to coat meats.
