Pastoral salad dressing, also called ranch salad dressing or country salad dressing, is an American salad dressing, usually made from buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, mustard, herbs and spices mixed with mayonnaise. Sometimes sour cream and yogurt are used to replace buttermilk and mayonnaise in the ingredients. Since it surpassed Italian salad dressing in 1992, Pastoral Salad Dressing has been the best-selling salad dressing in the United States. In the United States, it is also often used as a dipping sauce and seasoning for potato chips and other foods.

Mushroom sauces have been cooked for hundreds of years. An 1864 cookbook includes two recipes, one sauce tournee and one a brown gravy. United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a well-known steak lover, was reportedly quite fond of mushroom sauce. What makes this sauce our own is that it’s also a non-dairy sauce. True to our heritage, all sauces are prepared with care and can be used hot or cold.
