5 of the best ranch dressings you can buy (tried & tested)
Often when you're following a recipe online, it will have come from an American source. And that often means the recipe will include a few products that you might not be able to easily find here in the UK.
One such example is ranch dressing sauce - it's a staple of the American diet and is often the dressing of choice at BBQs and other occasions where lots of food is served. But despite the popularity of the sauce in the USA, it hasn't quite taken off in the same way here in the UK.
Having said that, there are actually a number of great options to choose from when it comes to ranch dressing in the UK, and we'd love to see the sauce become more popular here as it is so versatile. We thought it would be useful to round up the best ranch dressing that you can buy in the UK for anyone wanting to try it, let's get into it:
Newman's Own
Dine With Atkins & Potts Ranch Dressing
Brianna's
Brianna's is another American brand of ranch dressing that we've seen stocked in quite a few places here in the UK. Made in Texas, this ranch dressing works really well with salads and it's made using all natural ingredients without anything artificial added. We found it to have a really rich and creamy taste, and just like the ranch dressing from Newman's Own this dressing is made using rapeseed oil and buttermilk. Learn more and buy it here - ocado.com
M&S Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
M&S has loads of great food products, and we've previously written about how it's one of the best supermarkets for curries and pizzas. So we weren't too surprised to find an own-brand ranch dressing at M&S, although we were impressed by how good it was. Just like the ranch dressing from the American brands, this product is made using buttermilk and parsley. And it's also just as creamy as any of the other dressings we tried.

Hidden Valley
Hidden Valley is another brand that Americans will be very familiar with, and you can now buy the ranch dressing from this brand pretty easily in the UK. One of the great things about the Hidden Valley range is all the different variations - the standard ranch dressing is really delicious and is made using rapeseed oil and buttermilk as you'd expect. But you can also buy a spicy version and a fat free version of the ranch dressing, so it's great to have the variety. We find the Hidden Valley ranch dressing to be very creamy and to work well with meat. Learn more and buy it here - amazon.co.uk
