Hidden Valley Ranch Mix

[jams]

I have searched and searched... All I can find is that Hidden Valley Ranch contains trace amounts of gluten. The powder mix looks just fine and I put it in my soup. I am now afraid to eat it!!! Any help???

That info stands for the dry packets also.

My understanding is that it does contain gluten. I used to use the dry soup mix in my clam chowder, but then I heard the dry mix contained gluten.

When I called the company they said that there are no gluten containing ingredients in the dry mix, but that either they don't test for gluten or they're run on the same lines as gluteny ones. They do clean between runs though, I've heard of people eating it with no problem.

It's at your own risk, I guess.

I'm trying to make my own Ranch Dressing Mix recipe, since I like it too, and I'm scared to use the package product. I'll post the ingredients when I get it worked out.

Here's the recipe I worked out for it:

HV Ranch mock up:

3 tbsp Buttermilk powder* (found with the other dry milk)

at least 1 tsp garlic salt

" " 1 tsp onion powder

" " 1 tsp dried dill

" " 1 tsp dried parsley

" " 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

I developed it for my chicken strip recipe that I used to make with crushed saltines and HV ranch powder. I used Nini's chicken recipe and ran with it.
