Uncle Dan’s, Creamy Ranch | Singles Case – 12 Count (Pack of 1)

Use this in many recipes. Makes a great dressing for a pasta and shrimp salad

Dan's ranch is delicious - tangy and not salty. I use it on popcorn and pretzel snack mix. Give it a try.

This is very good ! Uncle Dan’s makes the very best dressings. I’ve ordered many times. I dearly love the blue cheese. The rest of my family prefer ranch. And this brand is their very favorite. I’d recommend both to anyone.

I've been trying to reduce waste and packaging, so started making my own ranch dressing with mixes vs buying in single use plastic bottles. I started out with Hidden Valley Ranch mix packs (we are all creatures of habit), but when the store was out, I saw this and bought it instead. What a serendipitous moment! I've never gone back.Dan's has so much of a 'cleaner' flavor than Hidden Valley mixes, and 10 times more than their bottled variety. In fact, a few months ago I ran out of Dan's packs to make my own, so bought a bottle of H.V. to get by for a bit, and was surprised that it totally grossed me out when I used it. It was a gloppy meh, with an aftertaste of chemical wastewater. That's when I started buying Uncle Dan's *CREAMY ranch mix in bulk, and have never gone back.*Which comes to the word to the wise, and reason for my 4 instead of 5 stars. I once accidentally bought their 'classic' ranch, which required buttermilk, which is nearly impossible to find in my area, and despite several attempts at substitutions, I could never get it quite right.Uncle Dan's doesn't show instructions on how to make when purchasing on Amazon, so just be aware of that if you also may not be able to easily find buttermilk.As one other tip, make sure you have a mixing bowl, a whisk, a funnel of sorts, and a storage bottle that has a wide enough opening to be cleaned, and a wide enough tip to not clog when serving. (Seems like a lot, but actually the money you will save by mixing your own will make up for it).After some trial and error, the bottles below ended up being perfect. They hold exactly one mixed packet, and with a rinse of hot water (sometimes a tiny drop of dish soap) they clean up well in the top rack of a dishwasher. Anchor the cap by simply putting the 'spout' of it over one of the prongs of the top rack.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DSVPD4Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

You won't go wrong ordering this wonderful product. Hard to find in grocery store, so happy to find on Amazon.

Yummy

So we were at my parents' house and I was plowing through my second bowl of salad when I said "Mom, this salad is sooo good! This ranch is really good. Is this the same old ranch?" And she said "No, it's Uncle Dan's, I've been buying it since you were a kid?" And I'm like "Mom, I'm 47 years old and I've never even HEARD of Uncle Dan's, how is this possible?" But, I digress.... This ranch is so delicious. And, as a chronic sufferer of ORD (Obsessive Ranch Disorder), I would donate a kidney to keep this yummy ranch in my kitchen for everything from salads to pizza to chicken to saltine crackers. Maybe that explains my extra 10 pounds?!

It tastes too much like Hidden Valley to not just buy hidden valley.
