Yeah, around here, nachos that you buy from the local pizzaria is pretty much this, just some sad moist chips with a clump of stiffened formerly hot cheese, olives and jalapeños.
Ranch isn’t terrible on a salad, but that’s where it should stay. Beyond that? Blegh. Some people even use the ranch seasoning as seasoning for other things, like fried chicken.
I mean it literally is in 99% of cases. Mayo got a bad rap for having too many calories and being associated with poor people so now they call same thing aioli.
Some garlicky gravy-adjacent sauce and maybe something like chili flakes and I’d eat that with zero hesitation.
Even if these look like the abhorrent “olives” that are surely the leading cause of people thinking olives are disgusting. If these were freshly sliced regular brown olives (regular to me in the Mediterranean) they wouldn’t even need sauce at all. Although the chili flakes can stay.
Looks kinda dry but with some sauce this actually would be great fast food
Nacho cheese or a good aioli and id eat that.

Poor man’s ranch dressing for anyone not of the continent
How dare you, alioli is heavenly and ranch is disgusting. I’ve been to the US once and had the displeasure of tasting it.

Aioli is more like flavored mayonnaise than ranch dressing

I would argue that ranch is the poor man’s aioli.
I vote for aioli!

Mayonnaise, probably… would work for most Europeans.
For the Western hemisphere, hollandaise or Thousand Island. (Keep in mind, ketchup won’t work well with the olives.)
Asia, you’re gonna want a few extra things to build it up. Japan got it right with Umami, baby.
