My unpopular opinion

Ranch is disgusting

[–] PodPerson@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We make ranch at home to occasionally dip things in, and it’s enjoyable. However, the slimy, sour shit that comes out of a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch is diagusting.

Homemade ranch really is on another level! Cheaper than the bottled stuff too. $1.50 for a small thing of sour cream and another $1 for a package of seasoning. I used to just use whatever was in my spice cabinet, but the package is so convenient if you just want it easy.

I keep a container of it on-hand so I can make smaller batches of it - I typically mix with just sour cream as a chip dip. For salads, I tend to prefer other dressings.

I used to like it, but nowadays I much prefer vinaigrettes. Ginger based Asian ones are good too. White sauces generally feel kinda heavy to me.

I grew up in the Midwest and have hated it since I was a kid.

Oh the ostracization!

Try normal buttermilk dressing.

The stuff hidden valley makes is kind of a disgrace. They put so much extra s*** in it. It's ridiculous.

oh yeah, for sure. If im going to serve it, that's what I would do. But I don't like dairy "sauces" or sour cream, mayo, none of that. Dairy dressings gross me out. But I have made it homemade for others in the past.

still gross to me though, nothing will change that lol
