1. I use Real or Himalayan salt in this recipe.
2. For the mushroom powder, I blend up dried or freeze dried mushrooms into a powder. This brand of freeze dried mushrooms is one I have tried and works well.
3. For the mayonnaise I like to use this homemade mayonnaise recipe.
4. It’s really easy to adapt this recipe in order to mix up as little or as much as of ranch dressing or dip as you want. If you are just making enough for a single serving you can even just add the ranch dressing mix to taste.
