What is ranch? I'm English and I don't have a valid frame of reference for the concept of ranch other than large cattle farm.

It's basically the American version of salad cream.

That's an unfair comparison.

For grandparent:

Ranch is mayonnaise-based, but is savory, with seasonings and plenty of umami. There's a lot of variation, and IMO the best version is Uncle Dan's (Amazon).

It's a cream dressing, so plenty heavy. Often used for dipping stuff. With Uncle Dan's (which comes as a powder), you mix it with buttermilk and mayo for a dressing; or you mix it with Greek yoghurt (or sour cream) and mayo for a dip.

Ranch contains no mayonnaise. It's base is buttermilk

Uncle Dan's Classic Ranch Dip

Uncle Dan's Classic Ranch Dressing

Ingredients 1 packet of Uncle Dan's Classic Ranch 2 Cups Buttermilk 2 Cups Mayonnaise

And if you don't agree that Uncle Dan's is the pinnacle of ranch dressing, here's the first search result recipe for homemade ranch dressing; there are 11 ingredients, but the first three are:

Ingredients ▢ 1/2 cup mayonnaise ▢ 1/2 cup sour cream ▢ 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk
