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.
My unpopular opinion
Ranch is disgusting

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!
