5 Extremely Unexpected Foods You Can Dip In Ranch

In this time of great divide and disagreement, there's one thing we can all agree on. Ranch dressing is amazing. There's no doubt about that. And if there is anyone that disagrees with that, they are probably insane and have no taste.

Ranch dressing has joined the ranks of hot sauce and ketchup in the category of "Sauces and/or condiments people say you can put on anything." While ketchup probably doesn't deserve to be in that category, ranch certainly does. These people are late to the party, because I've been putting ranch on weird things since I was a child, and have found some interesting discoveries. Since I am a writer, I have decided to share some of these fascinating discoveries with all of you.

Here are six foods that taste great with ranch dressing.

1. Red Apples

This might not be unexpected because apples are sometimes put in salads, but I don't think most restaurants put ranch dressing on apple salads. However, they really should. Because apples, specifically red apples, in ranch are delicious. The sweetness of the fruit pairs perfectly with the herbs in the dressing. And if you aren't a fan of eating crunchy fruits, like myself, the ranch makes the crunch less severe.

2. Grapes

This is more of an unexpected fruit than apples, but the flavors you experience are the same as red apples. However, purple, red and green grapes pair perfectly with ranch dressing, unlike apples, who only have one color that works.

3. Macaroni and Cheese

Want to make your mac and cheese even creamier? Add ranch! Ranch makes the mac and cheese creamier and even more savory than it is on its own. However, it doesn't mask or overwhelm the naturally delicious flavor of mac & cheese. If you want an even more complex flavor, add the hot sauce with the ranch.

4. French Fries

I remember seeing a commercial for powdered Hidden Valley Ranch that mentioned making potatoes with ranch, which is delicious by the way. Naturally, potatoes fried in oil are delicious as well. I like ketchup with fries, and even mustard with fries, but ranch with might be the best addition to fried potatoes. I said "might" because cheese sauce also might be the best.

5. Oreos

Don't knock it till you try it. It's actually kind of good.

Honorable Mention (Even Though It's Already Becoming A Thing):

Cheese pizza. Just cheese pizza, because the toppings mask the flavor. It's friggin' delicious. Just like the rest of this.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
