Trader Joe's Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Since its invention in the middle of the 20th century, ranch has taken on a culinary life of its own. In addition to its status as the best-selling style of salad dressing in the U.S. for over three decades, it’s also earned the title of best-selling condiment in the U.S. in recent years—even more so than ketchup! Beloved for how well its creamy, herby flavor profile enhances French fries, carrot sticks, chicken wings, pizza, and everything in between, ranch is a powerhouse of “put-it-on-everything” practicality, and Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Ranch Dressing ably demonstrates why.

Each bottle is made with a classic recipe that starts with a base of cultured buttermilk, sour cream, and mayonnaise, and flavored with an array of aromatic herbs and seasonings including garlic, chives, dill, and shallots. Cool, creamy, and delightfully old-fashioned, our Buttermilk Ranch serves spectacularly well in a salad with nearly any leafy green [though we’re particularly partial to one made with Butter Lettuce. Unsurprisingly, it also makes an excellent dip, condiment, or spread for all kinds of savory snacks, appetizers, or sandwiches, respectively. What might surprise you, however, is the fact that even with its rich, creamy consistency, each two-tablespoon serving contains only 70 calories.
