Ranch Dressing (in M-W but not OED?)

[Doug Harris]

And it might be a good idea to amend that definition to add something like

". . . but has no ingredient from a type agricultural facility fitting
the traditional definition of a ranch -- i.e. a place where lifestock,
as opposed to plants, are the main business."
