Sorority Sauce (ranch dressing)

[Doug Harris]

I've long been (mildly) curious about the origins of the
name _ranch dressing_. To my mind, a _ranch_ is a type of
'farm' for raising animals. The 'dressing' one usually finds
in ranch fields is _not_ something I'd want on _my_ salad!
Did RD originate as a clever marketer's idea, a joke, an
abuse of poetic license, or all of the above?

Wikipedia: Ranch dressing
Ranch dressing is an American condiment. The dressing is made of
buttermilk or sour cream, mayonnaise, minced green onion, and other
seasonings mixed into a sauce. Ranch dressing is one of the top two
styles of salad dressing in the United States, together with blue
cheese.
