Ranch dressing is a popular salad dressing and dip made primarily from buttermilk, sour cream, and mayonnaise. It is flavored with a blend of herbs and spices, including garlic, onion, and dill. This creamy dressing is known for its tangy and savory taste, making it a favorite for salads, vegetables, and chicken wings. Originally created in the 1950s by Steve Henson, a plumber who worked in Alaska, ranch dressing quickly gained popularity across the United States. Today, it is one of the most widely consumed dressings, available in various forms, including bottled, powdered, and homemade versions.
