Title: Dry ranch dressing-hidden valley
Post by: joshsmom on January 04, 2013, 06:55:12 AM
Is this safe for people allergic to: peanuts, a few tree nuts, sesame and sunflower. I have a recipe hat calls for it, but have never used it.

It's safe for PA/TNA, but I would be suspicious of the sesame and sunflower unless you call.  If you search the web there are good copy cat recipes where you can make your own blend with safe ingredients.

ETA:  Here's the recipe - 2 tablespoons = one packet of mix

1/2 cup dry buttermilk
1 tablespoon dried parsley, crushed
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Combine ingredients in blender.  Blend at high speed until smooth.  Store in airtight container.

I swore off Hidden Valley years ago when I called and they said I would have to have a note from dd's allergist before they would give me any information whatsoever.

Yikes!! 

Yeah, I would not use a mix either (I'm sesame).
