Keep your creamy ranch dressing and dip at its peak freshness with proper storage. This versatile condiment, perfect for salads, vegetables, and as a dipping sauce, requires specific handling to maintain its delicious flavor and safe consumption.
Storage Time
Opened ranch sauce typically lasts 7-10 days in the refrigerator. Unopened, commercially produced ranch sauce can last until the 'best by' date printed on the packaging when stored in a cool, dry pantry.
Temperature
Always store opened ranch sauce in the refrigerator, ideally between 0-4°C (32-40°F).
Signs of Spoilage
- An off, sour, or rancid smell.
- Visible mold growth on the surface or along the edges.
- A significant change in texture, such as curdling, excessive thinning, or a slimy feel.
