WHAT IS RANCH DRESSING..

Ranch dressing is a condiment made of buttermilk

or sour cream, mayonnaise, minced green onion, 

garlic powder, and other seasonings mixed into a 

sauce.

Ranch dressing is one of the two most popular

styles of salad dressing in the United States,

together with Italian dressing.

Ranch dressing has been the best-selling 

salad dressing in the United States since 

1992, when it overtook Italian dressing. 

It is also popular as a dipping sauce.

So always thought it was the combination 

of mayonnaise and sour cream

(or something like buttermilk) that gives 

ranch dressing that ever so slightly

tang to it. Then add some seasonings 

like dill, pepper,  garlic and onion and

you've got yourself something delicious. 

In 1954, Steve and Gayle Henson they 

served guests a dressing that Steve had 

developed in Alaska. The dressing got 

popular, and they began selling bottles

that guests could take home, and later 

opened a factory to sell packets of ranch 

seasoning.

Ranch dressing is a common dipping 

sauce for vegetables such as broccoli

and carrots, as well as for chips and 

"bar foods" such as french fries and

chicken wings. It is also a common 

dipping sauce for fried foods such as

fried mushrooms, fried zucchini, jalapeno

poppers, onion rings, chicken fingers,

and many others. In addition, ranch 

dressing is used on pizza, pickles,

baked potatoes, wrap sandwiches,

tacos,  and hamburgers.
