- While some people are mystified by its popularity, folks who love ranch dressing tend to eat it on many more things than just salad. It can go on wings, pizza, sandwiches, veggies, and many other foods. The list is basically never ending. It's even been named the official American dressing.
If you're a true ranch aficionado, you may have noticed that the ranch you can buy in a bottle and eat at home is not quite up to the level of quality of the stuff you get in the little ramekins at restaurants. Trust us, you're not just imagining it. Here's why ranch dressing always tastes better in restaurants.

Who makes the best ranch dressing in your opinion?
me
As long as they ain't SUPER cheap, then it really doesn't matter. They all do well as an all-purpose condiment. What about Caesar dressing?

A day is best started on a full stomach.
🤤
Marzetti's fresh ranch is pretty good. Better than the bottles.
I worked in a restaurant and I can confirm this is true. Buttermilk, mayo, and hidden valley ranch powder
neat

i think thats why mine always tasted different. i used water.
Yes n its delicious 😋 I always ask 4 a 2nd Ranch! I can't get enough of it!!
I buy the mix ranch powder and add sour cream to make a dip but I haven't added buttermilk & mayo (Duke's) to make a dressing but I will now. Thanks 😊
Fresh-made Ranch Dressing is the BEST! When I was a teen, my best friend's Mom made Ranch Dressing every other Friday Night.
She usually already had the
Mix Packets,, but would send us to the Store down the block for Buttermilk and Mayonnaise so it was always a fresh batch.
One of my best teenage memories.
Was she a hot mom? Did you ever think about sharing ranch dressing with her?
I’ve worked at Jimmie Johns for over 4 years and the kickin ranch is just buttermilk, mayo, hidden valley ranch seasoning, cherry pepper juice, and some cherry peppers. Absolute 🔥
I live in Michigan we have a coney island that puts feta cheese in their ranch amazing taste soooooo good yummy. Thank you for sharing have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏
I did not know this. I’ll have to try it…
I live in Michigan and love Corey Island
The biggest difference is whole milk fat Buttermilk instead of partial skim Buttermilk, that can also be extra heavy mayo instead of standard mayo. Milkfat content is pure flavor. Whisk the Seasoning into the Buttermilk first, then add Mayo and Stir and Fold. Mixing by hand takes a solid 15-20 minutes at least to get a smooth and thick consistency.
If you want the best ranch do the Buttermilk hidden valley packets, and make sure to use whole butter milk and Hellmans... You're welcome
If you live in Colorado or Florida, the ranch dressing from Blackjack's Pizza is mind-blowing! 🤯
Idk if it's just me or they actually have different recipes but I've worked at a few restaurants & they used the big bulk size tubs & those taste better than the normal sized bottles.
That's exactly what makes the ranch good. Heavy duty mayonnaise. You can only get it by the gallon+. It's richer because it has more egg yolks added to it.
@@EvanRockwell1 Thanks for the info, I never knew that the gallon plus mayo had more egg yolks added.
Before ranch dressing thousand island dressing was the most popular I still use thousand island dressing some times especially on hamburgers 🍔
If you want to make your own ranch from scratch all the dairy, mayo and herbs in the world is still going to be "missing something " and its MSG. It is absolutely crucial to the flavor as its the 4th volumetricly/listed ingredient, which means there is more MSG percentagewise before any of the spices such as garlic and onion. It is like trying to make Caesar dressing and not adding anchovies since they both bring serious umami to the dressing.
Yes!!! It tastes so much better! I've tried everything in the store. Nothing is close!
The first time I remember seeing Ranch Dressing was in Weight Watchers in the early 70s. It was recommended because because it was a good substitute for other salad dressings. I used the little Ranch seasoning packet and buttermilk.
Chef John has the best version of ranch. Those packets are so expensive. Make your own herb base.
Ranch dressing is fabulous on corn. 🥰🥰🥰
I make Ranch from Greek yogurt 5%, E.V olive oil, salt, pepper , garlic, and dill. It will spoil after 3 days... so make small batches.. Takes only a few mins. Very good taste, very high in protein, none of the bad oils(canola or sunflower) that is found in Most ranch. Very healthy alternative for diabetics, and tastes great! If you want an exact recipe they google "greek yogurt ranch". The higher % fat in Greek yogurt the fuller you will feel.. So buy 2% or 5% Yogurt.
Best trick I accidentally stumbled upon, use mayo with lime juice in it for the dressing mix. I bought some mayo made with lime juice on accident. Used it to make Hidden Valley mix fresh, tasted it and was surprised it tasted different. And sooooo much better! It is delicious!
Im gonna do this
Buttermilk ranch with curly or waffle fries
you have to use the hidden Valley version that REQUIRES buttermilk - there is no comparison!
Enjoyed the video but I found the music to be too loud, too fast & too distracting. Just my opinion, of course.
Whenever I order wings from a Restaurant , my first question is, do you use bottled ranch or do you mix it yourself? If it’s bottled ranch, I hang up or leave.
If they don’t know the difference, I don’t want to eat anything else that they might make.
RANCH! YUM! Ranch on a steak salad is SO GOOD!
Make some "Dijon" mustard from scratch and compare it to shelf mustard, even French brands. The thing is, this stuff has been sitting on shelves in markets, and who knows how long in some container on some dock at some port of entry? If you've ever had Dijon mustard in France, even store-bought, it zings you in the nose. With Ranch dressing, even though you make it from a seasoning packet using processed ingredients like mayonnaise and buttermilk, it's going to have that fresh taste edge that the shelf stuff cannot imitate.
It's the heavy duty mayonnaise that makes restaurant ranch so good. You can only get HDM by the gallon or more at places like GFS. Most restaurants order it from their suppliers. If you think you can make the same ramch with a jar of Hellmann's, think again!
I use Kroger ranch powder, add dill, buttermilk powder, sour cream, milk, pepper...sometimes add sriracha if I want it spicy.
Thank you!!
Hidden Valley Ranch powder, buttermilk, Miracle Whip, chopped garlic a pound of mushrooms, your choice and your favorite drink. Don't get sick, you can.
Thank you ⚘️
A day is best started on a full stomach.
🤤
Uncle Dan's packets make the best ranch. Don't now if it is a regional product.
Agreed!!
Never heard of or seen Uncle Dan’s products.
MSG, perhaps? i'm not opposed to it. but flavor enhancers like that aren't available to most of us
Msg has a bad rep. Its fine to use a lil at home. I believe it's natural. The Chinese had a rep of using too much.
MSG is easily available for sale.
they knew people would be eating ranch tonight cause its bdub thursdays boneless wings deal.
Mayonnaise isn't a dairy product
Wow, you're right. I had to look it up. Thanks!
Oh good, a 5 min ad for hidden valley ranch 🙄🙄🙄
LEGALIZE RANCH
I used the powder once, taste chemically. Never again.
Restaurants use Sysco ranch dressing
Jordan already gave you a straight forward recipe without your bullshit filler.
I use real seasonings to make mine , not hard to chop some plants up people
Wow, great video it’s called read the back of the hidden valley ranch packet and you’ll get the recipe ha ha smile.
OK, so I actually made this from scratch I think a couple of summers ago. And yes, very nice and creamy. It just doesn’t last as long as the bottle stuff.
Interesting
It's the best ranch
We have much better ranch at home. Just make it from scratch with fresh herbs. It’s not very hard and it doesn’t take long.
Mayo, sour cream, Hidden Valley dry seasoning.
Tryna hit this ranch??
Ranch it up bro
Same with blue cheese dressing
Eating salad with a knife is a sin.
I think this is falls cuz everyone knows Hidden Valley Ranch is the best
Sorry but I use Ranch at all I think it's over rated 😅
Never cared for Ranch I guess I’m weird.
Me neither 🤷🏻♀ naw
ranch is just ghetto
True believers in the gospel of Ranch know that the one true Ranch is mixed in the kitchen from the holy trinity of mayo, buttermilk, and powder from the sacred Hidden Valley.
There was a black lady at my office I used to work at that brought ranch in her purse every day. Unsurprisingly she always called in sick
Hidden Valley contains ‘bioengineered’ products in their dressing. Run away.
Mayo isn’t a dairy product… 🤨
Some people think eggs come from cows because they are in the dairy section of the store.
Looks so...........worst
I think if people really understood what dairy cows go through to produce milk for us, they wouldn't be spurting it out all over their faces and onto the surfaces around them. This is despicable when you think of the horrific life the cows have to endure. Look it up if you don't believe me.
😂😂😂
@@janallen3673 Yes, a laughing matter. Due to your good luck, it isn't you who has to go through such a terrible fate as that of a dairy cow. I hope karma comes to you in a big way.
@@sherryroberts7716 you obviously have never owned a dairy cow! They love being milked!
@@janallen3673 I can't vouch for that but I DO know that they very much hate having their calves ripped away from them. If the calf is female, she goes back into the system. If male, they most always become cruel veal.
😂😂😂😂🙄🙄
I don't agree that Ranch dressing always tastes better in restaurants.
I do not like Ranch as it is one of the most overused flavors around.
"Here's Why Ranch Dressing Always Tastes Better in Restaurants"
Wait.... What? Says who?
I do not like this sauce at all 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

I don’t like it

I mean maybe
with wingz but
even then it’s
just ok, pretty
bland and
tasteless.
It’s ghetto
food 🤷🏻♀
Hidden Valley Ranch is a NIGHTMARE for those of us who are sensitive to MSG!!! JUST SAY NO and use the Aldi brand or make your own.
Some of us like MSG, tho 😊
@@ellap4235I love it. It’s fine as long as you don’t have a sensitivity to it. I love the restaurant version if Hidden Valley Ranch and gave been trying to figure out how to make it at home. 😋
