yep, or I will substitute green olive juice for the wine vinegar.

I prefer ranch, but will occasionally try something else.
However, in my house, cat hair is a mandatory additional ingredient in everything.
The Good Seasons Italian is my favorite, made with light Olive oil and Red Wine vinegar with a splash of Balsomic vinegar.
I used to drown a salad in thousand island, but I eventually got tired of eating so much fat/oil on a salad. In general I avoid greasy foods. They taste good but make me feel fat and slow.
Right now it’s chipotle ranch dressing. Otherwise it’s a light raspberry vinaigrette.
But if the salad is loaded with eggs, baby corn, mushrooms, etc., I don’t put anything on because it just tastes better.
mmm, love salads, so I match dressings to salads/meals. I love salads with berries and berry vinegrettes, BBQ Ranch (Sweet Baby Rays + Hidden Valley) dressings with crispy chicken, House Italian with red sauces, Creamy Italian when I can’t decide if I want ranch or italian, Straight up Olive Oil and Balsamic…………
After 30+ years as an afficianado of all things bleu, I discovered Girard’s Champagne dressing. Despite the MSG it’s now a beverage as well as a dressing at my house.
The old Kraft Golden Caesar that they QUIT MAKING!
Regular Caesar is second, specifically the stuff from The Outback Steakhouse.

The honey-mustard poppy seed salad dressing that Red Robin has.

I usually only eat salad when the weather is hot. Dressing usually, normally, almost always consists of shorts, mebbe no shirt and sandals.

Personally, I think there should be a diet salad dressing called “500 Islands”……

Agree with mech on this: “Olive oil and wine vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon” ‘cept that I mash a bit of fresh garlic in it.
Use somethin very similar for eggrolls, too, but with spicy Asian vinegar and LOTS of garlic.
Milady uses that for pickin & eatin fresh-boiled shrimp or crab meat.

Good Seasons Italian. I have two mixing bottles. Make it with extra virgin olive oil & red wine vinegar, with a splash extra water & red wine vinegar.

French & Bleu cheese mixed (aka french roquefort).
Comment by wordsofearnest — July 6, 2012 @ 5:31 am
Chunky Blue Cheese–and hot bacon are up there as the best for me.
Comment by geezerette — July 6, 2012 @ 6:20 am
Bleu cheese. No brand pref.
The combination of a salted, cool tomato slice and a little bleu cheese dressing gives me a Summertime smile.

Bleu Cheese
I’d say “Roquefort”, but I’m not that picky. Any bleu will do.
Comment by mojo — July 6, 2012 @ 7:24 am
Bleu cheese. If I’m eating rabbit food, I want something to put the calories/fat/cholesterol back in.
Comment by rickn8or — July 6, 2012 @ 7:44 am
Depends on the mood…. Bleu Cheese #1, followed by 1000 Island—Bob’s Big Boy, and Newman’s Italian.
Doug, cook up some crispy bacon and then dip it in the Bleu!

two egg yolks
dry mustard
fresh squeezed lemon juice
2-3 anchovies
balsamic vinegar
clove garlic
fresh ground pepper

Any high-end bleu. Fo-Evah.
Not so fast. That is, until lately.
After 30+ years as an afficianado of all things bleu, I discovered Girard’s Champagne dressing. Despite the MSG it’s now a beverage as well as a dressing at my house.
Comment by Poor — July 6, 2012 @ 5:12 pm
Katz– It’s hard enough trying to remember what wines go best with what’s on the menu much less dressings — but yes there is a difference.
