How come you cant buy Ranch like the kind at a restaraunt??

Question

Like the salads at all restaraunts, especially apple bees!!! They taste so good and I know its the ranch.

Anyone know anything that tastes the closest?

Answer 1

Marie's ranch dressing is good. Its in the refridgerated section by the salad makings. Its the only kind I'll use.

Answer 2

Hidden Valley.  

The Make Your Own version with milk and mayo.

Answer 3

The ranch dressing at restaurants is usually made in-house.  That's why it used to be called house dressing.

Answer 4

get ranch that says it's buttermilk or make your own.

hidden valley buttermilk ranch is a good one.

Answer 5

As far as the store bought dressings I have to agree that Marie's is one of the best.  But you do have a very valid question, I have asked that myself.  The kind from the store has way too much thickener and sometimes even tastes slimy to me.

Answer 6

newman own comes close to applebees

Answer 7

Actually most restaurants just use Kraft. Even if they call it 'house' dressing.
