HAPPY RANCH DRESSING DAY! Ranch is enjoyed on salads, as a dip for various fried and spicy foods, and as a flavor in dishes like macaroni and cheese, casseroles, and potato salad. Made with sour cream, buttermilk, and mayonnaise, it includes herbs like parsley and dill, plus garlic and onion. Created in the 1950s by Steven Henson, a plumber-turned-cook, ranch originated at Hidden Valley Ranch in California, where it became a commercial product. Its popularity soared with store-bought mixes, a shelf-stable bottle in 1983, and Cool Ranch Doritos in 1986. By 1992, ranch surpassed Italian as America’s top dressing, and it remains dominant today, we consume over 150M gallons of ranch dressing each year, making it the most popular salad dressing in North America.
