Hidden Valley® Ranch Churro
Savory is the name of the game with these Hidden Valley® Ranch Churros created by Chef Charlie Palmer. These churros are crispy, zingy and make for the perfect appetizer. Top with ingredients like scallions and Hidden Valley® Original Ranch®, and for those looking to show their ~chef~ skills like Charlie, a dollop of caviar! But if you don’t feel like frying these up yourself, you can always grab them at Charlie’s New York City restaurant, Charlie Palmer Steak.
