Midwesterners have a love affair with ranch dressing. The bold taste of ranch can go on anything. Burgers, chicken, fries, appetizers, cheese sandwiches, the list goes on and on. For a time, the coasts and higher end establishments judged customers who requested “the white stuff” as a condiment.
Those days are over.
Ranch is a hit across the country and to celebrate the side that everyone loves (except a small pocket – but don’t worry, there will always be ketchup or mustard) Hidden Valley is introducing some flavor enhanced version of their signature product. Ranch varieties such as Ranch Dipped Pizza, Buffalo Ranch, ‘Zestier Ranch are hitting shelves soon.
