    Hey, haters, keep your hands off my Ranch dressing

    There's trouble brewing in Hidden Valley, America.

    The nation’s most beloved salad dressing is under attack by a bunch of granola-eating, tree-hugging hipsters who forage artisanal beets sold on food trucks.

    Consider this recent headline from the pages of The Washington Post: “Ranch dressing is what’s wrong with America.”

    Columnist Ben Adler fired off an unhinged diatribe on America’s favorite salad dressing – calling it “milk-rot” and warning that it could destroy Planet Earth.

    “It’s disgusting,” the writer declared. “It tastes like exactly what it is, which is milk that’s halfway rotten. Why would anyone want to take something that they would throw out if they unexpectedly smelled it in their fridge and put that on their salad?”
    Ranch salad dressing can cover a multitude of transgressions – from bean sprouts to vegan egg salad. It makes everything go down easier.

    Mr. Adler also has a problem with air conditioning, Hummers, and Pizza Hut’s new Grilled Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza.

    “Defiling pizza by turning its crust into a fake grilled cheese sandwich, or by putting ranch dressing on it, is the culinary equivalent of setting your air conditioner to 62 degrees or driving a Hummer,” he opined...

    Is that true? I really like ranch dressing but never really thought about what was in it. I don't even like buttermilk which is fermented/rotted milk.

    Ditto!
    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...

    Well some dressing is called buttermilk ranch. I don't like buttermilk straight either, but I do like it in cooking replacing regular milk like in cornbread, etc. Even ranch dressing.

    I was first introduced to H V Ranch dressing was in '69 or early '70. As far as I know, it only came in the powdered mix form. You mixed it with 1 c real mayo and 1 c buttermilk.

    Btw, I love buttermilk! We have some in the ice box now. I just felt like saying ice box! That's what we called it when I was growing up...

    Yeah, we still make that from time to time. I don't like the bottle version at all. Doesn't taste anywhere near the same to me.

    My daddy way back in the day used to put cornbread in a glass and then fill it up with buttermilk and eat it. That's a country thing right there (and maybe southern too?)

    Cornbread just ain't cornbread without buttermilk...biscuits either!
