Alongside its range of condiments and sauces, Sir Kensington's will now also be making a line of [ranch dressings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newmans-own-2) that boast carefully selected ingredients.

The new four-piece range includes varieties like a sunflower oil-based Classic Ranch, [Buffalo Ranch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-buffalo-ranch), Avocado Oil Ranch, plus a Pizza Ranch, which is said to mimic the flavors found on a classic slide with oregano, crushed red pepper and cheese—the taste of which is simulated with nutty nutritional yeast.

All of the new, non-GMO ranch products from Sir Kensington's that have been unveiled at this year's Natural Products Expo West are free from [artificial colors, preservatives and flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-foods-only-ingredients), as well as dairy, sugar, soy and gluten, meaning that consumers with dietary sensitivities can eat without being concerned about hidden ingredients.
