To use, simply shake the bottle well before opening. Pour the desired amount over your favorite salad greens. It can also be used as a dip for raw vegetables like carrots, celery, and broccoli.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to vinaigrettes, ranch dressing is much creamier due to its emulsified oil and egg base, and often contains dairy like buttermilk. Its flavor is also typically more herbaceous and savory, whereas vinaigrettes often lean towards a more acidic, oil-forward taste.
