How long does homemade ranch dressing mix keep?
This ranch dressing mix stores well. We keep ours in a French canning jar that has an airtight seal. We have stored ranch dressing mix at room temperature for at least a couple of months this way and haven’t had any problems with it going bad. If you don’t believe you will use it up in time or if you have concerns about it not keeping, you can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
