Hidden Valley ranch dressing

Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing is one of the most popular and versatile condiments in the kitchen, especially in American and Latin recipes. It is a creamy and flavorful mixture that combines ingredients such as mayonnaise, buttermilk, spices, and fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and chives. Its mild, slightly tangy, and very aromatic flavor makes it the ideal accompaniment for salads, vegetables, meats, and as a dip for appetizers.

This dressing originated in the United States, originally created in the 1950s by Steve Henson on a ranch called Hidden Valley in California, from which its name comes. Since then, Hidden Valley has become synonymous with ranch dressing, and its formula has been adopted and adapted in many kitchens around the world.

Properties: in addition to its delicious flavor, Hidden Valley ranch dressing provides creaminess and a very distinctive herbal touch. It is low in sugar and may contain fats depending on the version (classic or light). Its composition makes it ideal for enhancing flavors without overpowering them and for adding moisture to dry dishes.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: although there is no exact universal synonym, in several countries it is usually known simply as aderezo ranch, salsa ranch, or sometimes aderezo de crema con hierbas (creamy herb dressing). In some regions, it is also called aderezo estilo ranch (ranch-style dressing) to differentiate it from other homemade or local versions.
