Salad dressing can be a real crapshoot for me. Sometimes there are no issues. Sometimes, I like them, but they don't like me. Ranch is one of my favorites.

I just use frozen orange juice and dilute it on the thick side so it is a bit more sticky. No oil, no corn syrup or processed sugar, no salt, no dairy.

Although I do like chunky Blue Cheese. A simple to make thousand island is little more then mayo and ketsup

The wife likes a simple oil and vinegar dressing. She uses unfiltered apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, very simple dressing.

She cannot have (any) salt so this is about as good as it gets for her.

I like to add a tablespoon of Parmesan Cheese to my Ranch mix. Really ups the flavor profile, IMHO.

We like ranch as a dip for veggies, maybe for roasted taters. Honey mustard is my preferred dressing

Me too, but I add a little Stevie.

Olive Garden Italian dressing.

My go to recipe is a vinaigrette: I have tripled the recipe so that I don't have to make it each time I have a salad.

• ⅓ cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons prepared mustard
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• ½ teaspoon salt
• fresh ground black pepper to taste

My favorite is Ranch ( not buttermilk) and I just make a quick Italian dressing with olive oil, vinegar and a tablespoon of italian seasonings. I just make sure to make it ahead of time and let it sit so the flavors meld together


For anyone who wants to try different dressings I found this online and copied it. I don't know what recipe book it came from.

Hidden valley ranch for me home assembled.

I like Thousand Island on salads and sometimes other things (hamburger), Honey Mustard on chicken parts. I'd eat the south end of a northbound skunk raw before I'd put Ranch on it

The dressing I use depends on the salad. A "dinner salad" (just lettuce and a quarter tomato) just needs a bit of lemon (I order a lemon wedge).
A garden salad needs a light vinaigrette. A chef's salad with 3 meats, 2 cheeses, 2 lettuces, tomatoes, and hard boiled eggs doesn't need dressing but if you must use a dressing use a small amount of Thousand Island.

There are thousands of different salads and each is best complemented by a good dressing but the one thing common to all good salads is freshly ground black pepper.

This recipe seems to be a favorite in my hometown and has been around for several decades. Seems kind of rich, but there is much raving about it. Some use half and half instead of cream.

"My Grandma made a cream dressing too
1 cup cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
Used it on coleslaw and salad greens"
