One tester was able to pinpoint it as Classic Kraft.
It was described by one editor as being, Tangy, punchy, and more like restaurant ranch.
Another shared that it was the one that they kept coming back to.
Marzetti Classic Ranch
Marzettis Classic Ranch was the second of the refrigerated dressings in the test.
This is my fave, shared one editor.
Its tangy, herby, and interesting.
Another noted that it tasted fresh.
So if they were looking for a classic ranch dressing, this one wouldnt be their choice.
Overall, it scored near the middle of the pack.
If you’re looking for a store-bought ranch that tastes like restaurant, Litehouse it a great choice.
Its herby flavor and slightly thicker texture won over testers.
Another said it was a good all-purpose dip and testers were impressed by the zestiness and flavor it delivered.
