Ranch dressing is one of the most popular and versatile condiments in American cuisine and has found a special place on many Latin American tables. Originally created in the 1950s by Steve Henson, who opened a ranch in California and developed this creamy salad dressing mix, ranch dressing has become a classic that transcends borders. In Latin America, while it is mostly known as "ranch" or "ranch dressing," in some countries it receives adapted names or is mixed with local ingredients to give it a unique touch. For example, in Mexico, variants with chilies are popular, while in countries like Argentina or Chile, it is common to find it combined with different herbs and spices.
The mild and fresh flavor of ranch dressing makes it ideal for complementing salads, accompanying vegetables, and even as a dip for snacks.
