AVOCADO RANCH DRESSING IN RED BOWL WITH AVOCADOS ON THE SIDE

Why is it called ranch dressing?

Steve Henson, a plumber, turned cook came up with the recipe for ranch dressing to entice bush workers to eat salad. Henson’s ranch recipe consists of mayo, buttermilk, and various herbs. This winning combination provided Henson with the funds to buy the ranch of his dreams in 1954 outside of Santa Barbara, California - hence RANCH DRESSING! ?

What Can I Use It On?

  • Use it as you would regular ranch dressing especially great with mixed, tossed and kale salads.
  • A fantastic alternative to mayonnaise in your pasta salads and coleslaws
