This crunchy snack mix - loaded with popcorn, pretzels, and seasoned with Parmesan cheese and a packet of zesty ranch dressing - is as easy to prepare as it is fun to nibble!!
(makes 8 cups)
2/3 cup canola, veggie, or EVOO
1 pkg. (1 oz.) ranch dip seasoning mix powder
About 4 cups unsalted popped popcorn
About 3&1/2 cups pretzels (waffle style)
1/2 -1 cup dry roasted* peanuts almonds, cashews, or fav. nuts or mixed nuts (optional)
Assorted coarsely crushed crackers and/or sunflower seeds - for spicy version, add a pinch of
chili or cayenne pepper
3 oz. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
To a large microwave safe bowl, all oil and ranch mix; stir to combine. Add popcorn, pretzels, nuts, and other ingredients. Toss to evenly coat mixture; it may seem a bit on the oiyl side, this is okay as it absorbs. Microwave on high 2 min., stopping after 1 min. to toss mixture because oil has a tendency to pool at the bottom of the bowl. Add Parmesan; toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
