Is there a Ranch Dressing Recipe for the Mix Measure & Pour
 
I'll have to look it up, but not too long ago I was looking through a PC cookbook and it said to remove a certain amount of powder from a Ranch mix packet, and then the measurements needed for mixing up the rest in the MMP. I'll look later on this evening and let you know what I find.
