Personally I would not use the salts, instead increase the powders……………

Leaving out the salt would only improve the taste! But then, I am not a fan of "ranch" dressings because they usually DO taste too salty and artificial.
This actually sounds like a very good mix to just have around – leaving out the salt and the saltines!

I think the saltines create the "setting up" if you were to use it as a dip……
I love those oyster crackers with ranch dressing and extra dill…..I always make them around Christmastime……..

You could use unsalted or Salt Free Saltine crackers. I imagine that they are used to create 'body' in the mix. I'd also use onion and garlic powder rather than the flavored salts as I find the salts are both too salty and rancid tasting.
But, Cindy, I think this is what I want. I'll add some salt, just not in the quantities your recipe calls for. And i'll let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again to y'all on this website.

Your are right about the saltines Cindy and unsalted saltines are available in every grocery store at least here.
It would easy to leave out the salts and increase the powders – I would increase each powder by 1/8th of a cup to start, use unsalted saltines.
I love those seasoned oyster crackers too – now if I could figure out how to do them without all the oil LOL.
