ranch dressing
Creamy salad topping
Ranch dressing is a creamy American salad dressing made from buttermilk, mayonnaise, and herbs—typically dill, chives, and garlic.
Originally served at a California dude ranch in the 1950s, it became the bestselling salad dressing in the United States.
Ranch now accompanies pizza, chicken wings, and nearly anything that can be dipped: Do you have any ranch?
