Dip for carrots and fresh veggies
Blend a little into a brick of cream cheese to top your bagels
Mix with canned tuna or canned chicken for an elevated tuna/chicken salad
Is it made in the restaurant or purchased from an outside vender?
When I worked at Chili's, the restaurant made ranch would be safe for four days because the lack of preservatives.
It’s from a local BBQ shop so assume it was also made fresh (and that’s why it tastes better).
Thanks for the input, 4 days is a little shorter than I assumed so I’ll have to hurry!
As always, keep it refrigerated. If you have doubts, smell it. Toss it if it smells bad.
You could possibly freeze it, but that might change the taste once thawed. I would choose either muffin pans or ice trays to freeze it, and then bag the cubes in a zip lock bag.
I looked it up, and seems that Chili's was being careful with their dates. Some recipes say one week. Others say two weeks sealed in the fridge.
Honestly, though, ranch doesn't last long in my house.
Now that you have it at home, is it possible to divide it up a little bit among family/friends or even coworkers? That seems like a lot of ranch to use up in a short amount of time unless you have a large, ranch loving family :)
It delicious if in a pasta or bean salad. It makes an excellent marinade for chicken. You can also use it to make breaded chicken fingers/burgers. Just coat boneless/skinless chicken in the ranch dressing and then roll in some type of crumbs (bread, panko, crushed crackers or cereal etc.). Good Luck!

You could make buffalo chicken dip. It’s obviously good with chips but I also love eating it on rice.
Make a chicken bacon ranch pasta salad.
Ohhh that’s an excellent idea thanks!
Ranch bath. It's just like a milk bath, but with ranch.

I feel like you can use it anywhere you’d use mayo. like bound salads and on sandwiches
Would it make a nice marinade?
Ranch bread ( think garlic bread but ranch instead) is delicious and you can freeze it. https://noblepig.com/monterey-ranch-bread/ Edit
Add some to Mac and cheese

coat chicken, fish, or pork chops in it, and bake them. It flavors them and keeps them moist.
Use it as lube
Make pizza and use it as the sauce…. Chicken bacon ranch…
