The Salad Dressing Thread
I LOVE RANCH! And who doesn't? Now, why is it that the ranch in most restaurants a) taste the same, and b) can't be found anywhere else (e.g., the market)?
In general, I like creamy vs. oil/vinegar based, though I do like the occasional olive oil and salt on my leaves. Exception: bleu cheese... bleh!
I make my own kick-butt vinegarette, with apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, herbs, and (the key) truffle oil.

I like most dressings from Ken's Steakhouse. Lite Caesar and Lit Vidalia Onion are my favorites. A good Thousand Island on well chilled greens can't be beat either.

^ ^ ^ Fully agree. I love bleu cheese, ranch, creamy Italian and yes, Thousand Island dressing. On US Airways the salad of mixed weeds (another topic for another day) comes with raspberry vinagarette. YUCK !

I haven't made my own in awhile. Since I'm off this week for Spring Break, it gives me an excuse.
I also like Catalina type French. I can't use most of them as they are often made anymore with high fructose corn syrup which I can't have with a corn intolerance. WalMart's brand of Honey French still uses sugar instead.
Catalina French is particularly good if you put some cottage cheese on your salad before using the dressing... and then the crotons.

I'm strange in that blue cheese is the only salad dressing I don't like. I like several others including raspberry vinagarette. I like more salad than dressing so usually have it on the side. My husband's favorite is blue cheese.
I loosely follow Dr. Oz's diet book and avoid high fructose corn syrup whenever possible.
