[madamesilverspurs]

1. Bleu cheese with a splash of Italian.

A co-worker introduced me to that many years ago. Sounds odd, but really is quite tasty!


.

[debm55]

3. Thank you madamesilverspurs. It sounds very good

[TheBlackAdder]

42. I never thought that. I typically just have bleu cheese, but I've gotta try that out. It'sd the best of both worlds.

[kozar]

52. Yep,

A good Blue Dressing, i feel, needs , some balance.
Sorry, I'm so late to this post.

Koz

[kozar]

51. Chunky Blue cheese, 2 parts,

To 1 part French.
Been doing this for 45 years. I post this to madamsilver post, because, it's not weird.

IMO, good Blue dressing, needs a " balancer" for lack of a better term. What Italian? Do you use?

Koz

[Elessar Zappa]

85. That sounds great!

Gonna try that soon.

[Deuxcents]

2. Peppercorn Ranch

[debm55]

4. Yummy. Thank you Deuxcents.

[Traildogbob]

5. I like ranch too, but........

While taking Forest Technology continuing Ed classes at Clemson University, a requirement of faculty in my job, I had the treat of the world famous Blue Cheese made by students in their Agriculture Dairy
Curriculum, and the salad dressing made with it.
Never veered away from Blue Cheese.after.
If never gets a chance visit Clemson ya gotta shoo at the Dairy Store and purchase a huge chuck.
And their ice cream……Daaaaamn.
So….Blue cheese….if I die from it, line my casket with it.

[debm55]

7. TY Traildogbob. I attended Penn State university. The Dairy there had delicious homemade ice cream,

I really like blue cheese dressing but not that much.

[Traildogbob]

12. I exaggerated a little

We had a New Main Street Diner just open here. Stopped for wings the other day, first visit, after the Dog Bakery run.
THEY MAKE HOMEMADE Blue Cheese. Now I gotta avoid town😉
And Penn State is my colleges’s arch rival in TimberSports Collegiant competition. We beat em a lot! And got to visit when they hosted the rotating event. Great place there.

[debm55]

66. TY Traildogbob. Did you stop at the Creamery? It's on campus. Next time you go, pay them a visit.

[Traildogbob]

74. Oh yes!

I am an ice cream addict.
Probably a good thing I only took continuing ed classes there for high tech Forestry Technology equipment.
I got my degree from a college that did not have access to ice cream and blue cheese.
My heart and butt size would not have survived.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. Ranch for me too!

[debm55]

9. TY 50 Shades of Blue.

[KT2000]

8. Splash of balsamic dressing

and creamy Caesar

Besides adding flavor, it reduces the amount of the Caesar which has more calories.

[debm55]

11. Almost the same here---mix my ranch with Balsamic dressing. TY

[mucifer]

79. It's weird, straight balsamic makes me cough. I seem to have a sensitivity

to it. But, I like it

[KT2000]

87. If you want to cough

try Fever Tree Ginger Beer. Take the top off and instant coughing.

[rsdsharp]

10. My favorite is oil and vinegar drizzled over salad with crumbled blue cheese.

My favorite commercial dressing is creamy parmesan.

I’m one of the few people who loath ranch.

[debm55]

13. That's okay. Creamy Parmesan sounds very good. TY rsdsharp

[franken-stein_]

14. Caesar

Caesar only

[debm55]

17. Ty franken-stein. Do you make it yourself? I heard it is good.

[Polly Hennessey]

15. Maria's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing.

Always loved Roquefort dressing but can’t find it anymore.

[debm55]

18. Thank you, Polly Hennessey. Yes, we have Maria's Chunky Blue Cheese here too. I enjoy with raw veggies for dipping.

[Beatlelvr]

16. Avocado oil and rice vinegar

[debm55]

19. TY Beatlelvr. That sounds very unique and different.

[LudwigPastorius]

20. I like, either a lite Italian dressing, or creamy salsa, which is basically a Ranch & salsa combo.

I hate to say it, but Chik-a-fil has a good creamy salsa dressing.

[debm55]

67. TY LudwigPastorius. I think I will try to make some at home. It sounds easy to make.

[Emile]

21. Poppy Seed dressing.

If no Poppy Seed, I use mayonnaise.

[debm55]

68. Ty Emile. I use poppy seed dressing in my potato salad and on sandwiches. It tastes like Miracle Whip

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. Honey Mustard!

[debm55]

69. TY Mad_Dem_X I like it too.

[Elessar Zappa]

23. Ceasar's and blue cheese.

It’s gotta be real Caesar’s, made with the anchovy and egg yolk, preferably made at home or in the restaurant.

[LisaM]

27. No, it should NOT have anchovy.

I know there are two sides to the debate about the original Caesar salad, but I come down firmly on the no anchovy side. I make Caesar salads at home pretty often and I do my own dressing with the one minute egg and all.

Now, granted, I can't eat most fish and I can barely stand the taste of the few kinds that don't make me physically ill, but even with that said, I don't know why anyone would want to drown out the taste of a nice, fresh salad by adding a fishy element.

[Elessar Zappa]

28. Well, I won't eat it without anchovy.

It’s an essential ingredient for me.

[debm55]

32. TY Elessar Zappa. I'm glad you like them. I'll pass.

[LisaM]

34. But not authentic.

The original did not have them!

[debm55]

35. Thank you LisaM. Some people like them them, I guess. I had them on a pizza and they were so salty, I never ate them

again.

[debm55]

36. TY Elessar Zappa. I never had a real Caisar's salad.

[Trailrider1951]

24. I love Ranch dressing too, but it has to be HV Buttermilk ranch. I also love Blue Cheese dressing,

So I usually crumble blue cheese on my salad before I add the ranch dressing. The best of both worlds!

[debm55]

31. Ty. I like the Buttermilk a little better,also.

[Dulcinea]

25. Honey mustard for me! nt

[debm55]

30. Thank you Dulcinea. I'll have to try it sometime. Thanks for the suggestion.

[Niagara]

26. Panera Bread Italian Vinaigrette and Marinade

Sometimes it's not easy to find at the store.

[debm55]

29. TY Niagara. I like Panara Bread Vinaigrette and marinade items also their bagels.

[Niagara]

33. YW Debbie. You have excellent taste!

[OldBaldy1701E]

37. This is where my heritage comes through. 'Country French'.

[debm55]

38. Thank you OldBaldy1701E

[lastlib]

39. Salad??

I'm carnivorous. I feed salad to the rabbit, and then eat the rabbit!

[debm55]

43. OH my! You are pulling my leg,

[Wonder Why]

40. Plain old red wine vinegar and oil (preferrably olive or peanut oil). Everything else contains garbage.

I didn't even know there were other types of "dressings" until I went to college. They all tasted gross.

[debm55]

49. Ty Wonder Why.

[beemerphill]

41. Two

Blue cheese and Catalina. French or Russian can be substituted for the French. The blue cheese is better if you toss in a few chunks of Blue Cheese or Feta. Put this on top of some nice Ice Berg or Romaine lettuce with plenty of crunchy White chunks. If you have them, a couple of slices of cucumber and/or radish are a nice touch. Throw in a piece of Deli Swirl Rye bread with Sweet Cream Butter.

[debm55]

44. TY It sounds very good. I'am going to put on bookmark,

[AllaN01Bear]

45. me choose ? hem.

[debm55]

48. TY AllaN01Bear---you are funny.

[Different Drummer]

46. My go to salad dressing has become poppy seed.

Delicioso!

[debm55]

47. TY Different Drummer. poppy seed is very good in potato salad, and on sandwiches.--egg salad and tuna salad.

[yellowdogintexas]

89. I use a homemade poppy seed dressing on broccoli salad

It's a yummy treat too.
Has bacon bits, green onions, slivered almonds, grapes and broccoli.

[Wicked Blue]

50. I make my own oil and vinegar dressing

Last edited Mon May 6, 2024, 09:36 PM - Edit history (1)

Olive oil and any combination of these: red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice.
Then a good shaking of Morton's seasoned salt.

I used to add a grind or two of Trader Joe's lemon pepper, but they discontinued it, drat them.

[debm55]

65. Thank you Wicked Blue. I bet that lemon pepper put a kick in it.

[Silent Type]

53. French. Most restaurants don't have it nowadays.

[debm55]

63. TY Silent Type. You are right. I haven't seen French Dressing in a restaurant for a very long time.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

54. Russian. It's like French, but with a bit more bite.

Maybe a little bit of crumbled feta too. And an anchovie.

[debm55]

62. TY JustABozoOnThisBus. Doesn't it have relish in it too? Enjoy.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

72. Are you asking me what's in Russian dressing?

Red stuff. Tasty red stuff. That's as much as I know.

[Runningdawg]

55. My favorite is creamy garlic, but we keep oil and red wine vinegar on the table and I use that most often.

[debm55]

60. TY Runningdawg. Two very good choices. Enjoy.

[Hassler]

56. Olive oil with balsamic vinegar

[debm55]

59. Ty and very good. Enjoy, Hassler.

[Lunabell]

57. A good vinaigrette.

I am particularly fond of the olive garden brand of bottled dressing. I like ranch and blue cheese, but always have to have an acidic vinaigrette with it.

[debm55]

58. Ty Lunabell. I agree with the Olive Garden's Dressing.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. Blue Cheese Vinigarette. It is the best!!

My favorite local burger place whips up a jalapeno ranch that is outstanding.

Usually I just whip up my own oil and vinegar dressing

I lost my appetite for regular ranch after eating pizza with my husband's family and everybody dunked their pizza in ranch dressing. It's a Texas thing.

[debm55]

64. Ty yellowdogintexas. I have seen people dunk their pizza and french fries in ranch dressing. I'm from Pittsburgh. Yuk

[Laffy Kat]

70. Poppyseed. nt

[debm55]

71. Ty Laffy Kat. Good choice.

[blue neen]

73. Good Seasons Italian Dressing

You mix it up yourself. De-lish!

[Chakaconcarne]

75. miso dressing

[woodsprite]

76. Ranch with a tblsp of salsa mixed in! nt

[ClimateHawk]

77. Ranch

[k55f5r]

78. Thousand island with Tabasco.

Sweet and spicy at the same time.

[birdographer]

80. Mix of ranch and french

[3catwoman3]

81. It used to be Trader Joe's Champagne Pear Vinaigrette With Gorgonzola...

...but they discontinued it. It was the best dressing I have EVER tasted. I miss it.

[Srkdqltr]

82. Brianna's Poppy Seed dressing

[arkielib]

83. Poppy Seed

I also really like orange vinaigrette.

[CanonRay]

84. Vinegar and Olive Oil

or Bleu Cheese

[ailsagirl]

86. I can list the few I do like--no favorites per se

French
Italian
Balsamic vinaigrette
😋😋

[MustLoveBeagles]

88. French

[LeftInTX]

90. It depends on the salad!

It varies: I like to buy Marie's when I do, except for Greek dressing, I buy Ken's Steakhouse Greek.
I like Marie's Coleslaw, Thousand Island and Ranch. But I like other dressings, but I just don't buy more.
I don't care for Kraft and those other salty ones.

[Aristus]

91. For a guy who doesn't like change, my favorite salad dressing has changed a lot over the years.

Childhood: Green Goddess.
Teens: Thousand Island.
Early adulthood: Bleu Cheese.
Currently: Ranch.

Obviously, I like the creamy dressings. Caesar dressing is nice, too. Can't do anything with a vinaigrette. I'm just not on for it.
