Ranch dressing was invented by a plumber in the 1970s and it was a huge hit with most everyone that tried it. He ended up making the dry ingredients available for those that loved it and sold it in his local grocery store for all that wanted it. It seems people could not get enough.
He and his wife ended up buying a ranch and they named it for that famous ranch that is found on the bottles of your favorite ranch salad dressing, and dip. Later they sold the ranch and the formula for the salad dressing to the Clorox company and the rest is history.
This is our version of his beloved salad dressing. This ranch dressing recipe is so delicious and does not contain the bad ingredients that you are trying to avoid in a healthy lifestyle. There is no soy and no MSG or other additives.
