Ingredients
Scale
Crackers
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)
Seasoning Mix
- 1 tsp dry dill weed
- 1 tbsp powdered ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp celery salt or kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp white vinegar powder or pickle juice powder (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp dry dill weed, 1 tbsp powdered ranch dressing mix, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp celery salt, and 1/4 tsp white vinegar powder if using. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors for the crackers.
- Coat the crackers: Spread the saltine crackers evenly on a large baking sheet. Lightly spritz them with olive oil spray or brush with 2 tablespoons of melted butter to help the seasoning adhere properly.
- Sprinkle the seasoning: Generously dust the prepared seasoning blend over the crackers, ensuring each cracker is covered with a good layer of the tangy dill and ranch flavor.
- Toss gently: Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss or press the seasoning into the crackers so it sticks well without breaking the delicate crackers.
