Hidden Valley Ranch is a popular brand known for its ranch dressing and seasoning mixes. It was created in the 1950s by Steve Henson, who developed the recipe while working as a ranch hand in California. The dressing is made from a blend of buttermilk, herbs, and spices, giving it a creamy and tangy flavor. Over the years, Hidden Valley Ranch has expanded its product line to include various dressings, dips, and seasoning packets. The brand is widely recognized and often used in salads, as a dip for vegetables, and as a flavor enhancer in various dishes.
