Hidden Valley® Ranch BBQ Honey is like a blend of Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce and since we are obsessed with BBQ sauce in my family we are loving this new dressing. It is fabulously sweet and tangy with lots of smoky flavor and it would be incredible on a chicken wrap or southwestern salad.

  1. I couldn’t locate the dressing specified in this recipe so I made my own with ranch dressing & honey bbq sauce. I added Smokey paprika & some cayenne pepper but it was still a little flat tasting. It needed a little kick so I added tajin spice & it was exactly what my salad needed.

  2. This was a big hit at our last pot luck. Everyone liked it because it wasn’t a heavy mayonnaise pasta salad.

  3. Since no longer can find the Ranch Honey Bbq, How much honey bbq sauce do you mix with the ranch dressing?
