Crowdtap Sampling - Hidden Valley Ranch Feast


Through Crowdtap.com I received a huge party pack to celebrate the wonders of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and the use of Hidden Valley Ranch flavor in dips and as seasoning mix. They included samples for me and my guests to try and so of course I took the pack to work so that everyone there could sample it.

This is the list of contents for the party pack - what a selection:
  • 1 Hidden Valley Team Ranch T-shirt
  • 1 Bottle of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing
  • 2 Packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing & Seasoning Mix
  • 1 Packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips Mix
  • 1 Party Guide Insert with a coupon, tips and recipes
  • 1 Dip Clip 
  • 10 Packets of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing & Seasoning Mix
  • 10 Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips Mix
  • 10 Guest Inserts with a coupon, tips and recipes
  • 10 Dip Clips 
But before I took the pack to work, I had to just sample the use of the seasoning mix for cooking at home. So I fixed a quick lunch and added the contents of the HV Seasoning Mix for added flavor to a number of side dishes.

 I loved how quickly I could add extra flavor thanks to Hidden Valley Seasoning Mix, not only did it add flavor to cheap boxed mashed potatoes, but I also added more flavor and an interesting twist to ground beef (in this case a soy alternative) and it took only a couple more minutes and basically no extra preparation.
