Homemade Ranch Dressing

Cultural Context

Ranch dressing originated in the United States in the 1950s, created by a rancher named Steve Henson. Initially served to guests at his ranch, it quickly gained popularity and became a staple in American households. Today, ranch dressing is celebrated for its creamy texture and herbaceous flavor, often used as a dip or salad dressing. Variations abound, with some adding additional spices or ingredients, making it a versatile condiment enjoyed in many dishes.
