Salad Dressings

I like most any kind of dressings. I make a honey mustard dressing that is a hit w/everyone that eats it. It's also good on a fruit sald which is something i really like to.I have always loved salads.

I usually make my own dressing, no name. Just what I want to eat. I never buy a prepared dressing. The usual have olive oil, salt, pepper. Then the differences start. Some have lemon juice, some aceto balsamico. To some dressings I will add some dry oregano (from my own garden), or chives or tiny bits of hot green pepper.Other dressings will have mayo (handmade) and/or Diyon mustard. I love coarse Diyon a l´ancienne for raw zuchinni. Parmesan cheese or other kinds of cheese are part of my dressings many times. Take care!

When I have salads, I always prefer homemade dressings, because they're easy to make and you know what's in them, vis a vis chemicals, salt, etc. The only compromise I make is on Ranch dressing; I use the Hidden Valley packet as a base. Thousand Island is so easy to make, and there are many possible variations. Honey Mustard is great and also easy. Vinaigrettes have so many variations, from savory to sweet. I particularly like to make homemade Caesar dressing and a Parmesan vinaigrette variation. I love Blue cheese dressing and do a creamy one and a blue cheese vinaigrette.

It depends on what kind of salad, and if I am trying to be healthy :) My favorite would be italian or honey mustard. From time to time I will do a ranch or raspberry vinaigrette. Here in St. Louis a lot of Italian places have "House" dressings, which are to die for. Usually a sweet italian dressing.

i love pretty much all type of salads except greek salad..reason salad should be a light dish..not too heavy but i find greek salad w e feta cheese and anchovies a tad too hevy for something light as salad. i would definitely go for dressings that are light eg vinigratte, italian or balsamico as compared to their heavier counterparts thousand island or buttermilk...

I used to love Ranch dressing (still eat it on occasion), but have come to love taco sauce on my salads (fat free and tasty!)

i actually like italian, ranch or ceaser and so do my kids actually. my 12 year absolutely loves ceaser salad!
