Step 1 : Introduction to the question "According to the Association for Dressings and Sauces, what is the most popular salad dressing in the U.S.?"
When it comes to salad dressings, Americans definitely have a favorite: Ranch. Ranch dressing is by far the most popular salad dressing in America and has been since 1992 when it overtook Italian. Ranch sells roughly twice as well as the second-place contender, blue cheese dressing, and it easily outpaces other classic flavors such as Italian, Thousand Island, Vinaigrette, and Honey mustard. According to a Simmons National Consumer Survey, 139.52 million Americans used Ranch prepared salad dressing in 2018.
