My family is completely nuts with Ranch! If we run out of Ranch in my house it's like running out of toilet paper!!!! I swear! We use ranch to, of course, top salads but for so much more including dipping pizza in, dipping veggies, as a condiment on sandwiches (chicken and ranch sandwiches rock), and even as a marinade for some meats.

Oooh, I dearly love Ranch. Haven't had it in quite awhile and don't know why. I used to put it on everything as well. Thanks for reminding me because I'll be picking some up on our next shopping trip tomorrow. lol

We don't have the same brand around here in my country, but I do love some toppings upon some of my favorite dishes. I'm not such a big fan of ketchup like the majority, but I have a hard time resisting some Savore or Helmman's mayonaise, for instace.

I'm not big on Ranch unless I'm dipping fresh cauliflower in it. My nephew is another story - he puts that stuff on everything. Cooked vegetables, raw vegetables, chips, any meat known to man, pizza, bread, mashed potatoes - everything!

My nephew also loves putting ranch dressing on pizza. I'd never seen this before, but he acts as if it's the most natural thing in the world. I can't say I share his taste for it.

I try to avoid Ranch dressings because I was told many of them contain blue chesse. I am highly allergic to blue cheese. I know many people that love ranch dressings though. Cheers!

I've never seen a Ranch with bleu cheese? Strange. The base for most Ranch is simply dill, spices and the cream base is generally sour cream. Check the ingredients to be sure.. but wow.. you're missing something great if you don't have to!!!!

I can't say I'm addicted to it, but I put it on my cheese and ham sandwiches. I couldn't eat a salad sandwich without it either. I love to put loads on, so that it will be squelching out at the sides, then I can lick it all off my fingers (when nobody is watching).

Yeah, i too like to use it. I want to share my knowledge about it. Ranch dressing, a sauce, is an American condiment and vegetable dip made of buttermilk or sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced green onion, along with other seasonings. The original popular brand in the U.S. is called Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, which is now owned by the Clorox Company. In the U.S., ranch dressing is one of the top two styles of salad dressing.

Ranch is my favorite dressing. I do not go buggy if I run out of it. But, refuse to eat a salad without it. I also love to use it for meats. Add a bit of crushed garlic or wasabi and you have a delicious dip for meat.

You know, I used to think only Hidden Valley too.. but have found a Ranch Dressing at Sams Club that is created for restaurants. It is the absolute BOMB when it comes to Ranch! I never thought I'd say it, but even BETTER than Hidden Valley!

We always have ranch in our house, it makes so many foods taste better. I actually cook with it,too. I dip chicken in it and then in to bread crumbs,then bake. It is soooo good,it works with fish,too.

I would LOVE to hear from people that live in the Los Angeles area that love Ranch dressing to the point where a day doesn't go by that they don't consume it! I'm casting a new food docu series about people with interesting eating habits, and I'd definitely love to hear from people who have an "obsession" with ranch! Please get in touch with Jessica at PickyEatersCasting@gmail.com ASAP.

I am so addicted to ranch dressing. I will eat it on almost anything. I put it on my vegetables and many of my foods. It is just the best dressing out there (and I don't really like dressings)

My family also loves Ranch, French fries are the major that it is used for. We also use it on salads, and as a dip. We like it with chicken wings, and the kids love backed ranch chicken. I get off a little cheaper than the Name brand stuff though, I buy the Walmart brand tast to us just like Hidden Valley.

We have a food service place called GFS (Gordon Food Service) that has a huge bottle of dry ranch. It's sort of expensive at first glance but after using it you realize you don't need a ton to add to stuff to get a wonderful ranch flavor! We sprinkle it on chicken, over our fries and so much more. It's a dry seasoning so it doesn't soak anything either! Very yummy and lasts FOREVER truly!

I love ranch too. I do use it for salads and pizza and breadsticks and to top baked potatoes. also to dip french fries in. and chicken wings.. my sister puts it in her mashed potatoes. There is alot you can do with ranch.. another good one is thousand island dressing, I put that in taco salad and add some ranch or taco dorito's for crunch or some frito's.. that is really good.

I was a ranch dressing kind of person for years, then all of a sudden, I started getting this overwhelming desire for blue cheese dressing. I think it is one of my few splurges when I go out to eat. Blue cheese dressing and the chunkier the better.
