There's not much to ranch - you can mix up some mayo and milk
and some salt and it would be pretty close. Ranch also tastes
like it contains a heavy dose of MSG.

As in: how much can you change and still call it by its original
name?

 
The dirty little secret is that MSG is the main flavor component of
ranch dressing. Without MSG, ranch dressing is just thinned down mayo.
Americans crave umami - they just don't realize it. Of course, you
never heard it from me.

Negative,  I make my own and no MSG is used.  I use Ken's Russian also,
no MSG listed.

I'm not against MSG for any reason but it's just a flavor enhancer.
Very common in salt reduction/replacements like 'lite salts'.  It has
30 or 40% less sodium than table salt but makes you less prone to go
for the salt shaker.
