Ancient history

What year was ranch dressing invented?

Ranch dressing was invented in 1954 by Steve Henson at the Hidden Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Henson created the dressing as a gift for his guests and it quickly became a popular condiment. In 1972, Henson sold the recipe to Clorox, which began mass-producing and distributing ranch dressing. Today, ranch dressing is one of the most popular salad dressings in the United States.
