I used to buy the packets of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning when I had a special recipe that called for it. Having this dispenser makes it so much easier to measure out just what you need and keep the rest fresh. No more folded partially full envelopes of seasoning mix spilling in the cabinet.

The trick to this is not to eat it right away. Whether you use sour cream or light sour cream, you need to use a 16 oz. tub. Vigorously stir it in with a fork (not a spoon) or wire whisk. Put the lid on and let it set in the refrigerator at least a couple hours. Overnight is better because it gives plenty of time for the powder to rehydrate and for the taste to come out. If you do this, you will have the best dip at your party, even better than readymade dip (far better), that your guests had ever tasted. I used Great Value Light Sour Cream and mine couldn't have tasted better.

The ranch seasoning is great. I use it in recipes and my daughter loves it on almost everything. But, as is often the case, Sam’s used a flimsy shipping box and the bottle got dented. Still works fine, so I didn’t request a replacement, but doesn’t stand straight on my shelf. Note: I have received many damaged products over the past few years, particularly on large, heavy orders. They just put too much weight in a flimsy box. They always replace or refund when I ask, but still…

Bought this a month ago. Love it My family and I love the taste and I love the convenience! I use to waste and have to throw so many bottles of dressing away because we don't eat a bunch of salads and the dressings would always expire usually 3/4 off bottle left. Now with this powder dressing, we make as we need it, so no more wasted product and it takes great! Our only complaint is that Sams use to sell a much larger size, like a bulk size at a great price. This 16oz is much smaller making the price not a great bargain anymore:( Please go back to the larger size.

Happy to have found this value quantity of 4 . Perfect for so many recipes (I dare you to a little in twice baked potatoes, or as a topping on a freshly baked potato instead of plain sour cream) in addition to the best Ranch dip ever! Thank you Walmart for having this in stock :)

If your family loves HV ranch dressing, this is a must have for food pantries! My goodness it has a wonderful taste (that I swear is addictive). I use it for seasoning chicken, pork, & some seafoods. I mix it with butter and spread on different breads, mixed with mayo makes a great sandwich spread, and it is awesome to sprinkle into pasta dishes and yes is the best for mixing smaller amounts of fresh HV Ranch Dressing. I typically have one open in the frig and one in the pantry for back up!

I like both the ranch and the siesta flavors. One is just like the original Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and the other a bold and spicy ranch. I keep them on hand for a dip for fresh vegetables. Great made with fat free sour cream for the dieters in your life.

I was so unhappy that the club stopped carrying this and went to the package with packets instead. Not thrilled that I have to buy it in a two pack online, but who am I kidding?!? We use this stuff all the time and this guarantees that I won’t run out!

Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning is an indispensable facet of my cooking - so many recipes call for it that I'd be overrun by little packets if it weren't for this bulk container. The product is great, but the packaging has been thinned out and cheapened to the point where fumbling the container can result in damage - so be careful with it!

Can't go wrong with ranch seasoning. My kids love this sprinkled over their cucumbers
