Kindly share your favorite salad dressing or dressings and favorite salads thanks so much for sharing..'
Right now I absolutely love Wishbones Reduced Raspberry Walnut Dressing so delish yummy yummy and I love it on either Romaine or Baby Spinach with either mandarin oranges or slices of strawberries and cut up walnuts and sliced almonds and some very thin red onion and fresh blue cheese and plain croutons so delish. I also love Kraft Reduced Balasmic Vinegrette with fresh basil and fresh mozzarella cheese sliced real thin with fresh beefsteak tomatoes. Okay ladies I am hungry... So kindly share cause I dearly love salads and if you post yours perhaps I may like them.. Peace to healthy eating.... Catherine

Kraft sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. So good!

Good Seasonings Italian dressing (you make it in the bottle) and just balsamic vinegar w/ canola oil, & a little S&P are what everyone loves here.

I like this one too because I add my own stuff to it. Always some parmesan cheese, sometimes red pepper flakes.

I also LOVE Western, it's made by WishBone Wish-Bone® - Wish-Bone® Western® Original

I like my own actually. Olive Oil, Lime Juice, Salt & Pepper. It doesn't over power the veggies at all so I can enjoy them more.

I also love raspberry walnut vinagrette. It is the only flavor I DO like. I've been using KEN'S LITE variety now for 3 years and love it!!

I like the spring mix bagged variety of salad. Love that frisee' stuff. With some walnuts or pine nuts. Some kind of citrus, like oranges, or red grapefruit. Some feta cheese. I also like grapes in my salad! Some cucumbers, shredded carrots. Maybe some apple pieces, fresh apples, not dried. But I do like dried cranberries in a salad. Craisins makes a great orange flavored cranberry, but they are high in sugar.

Also, the raspberry walnut vinagrette makes a great dressing for fruit too! Instead of smother those apples in caramel, I like to drizzle some vinagrette on them.

I'll usually buy Italian or Red Wine Vinaigrette. As for restaurants, I enjoy The Cheesecake Factory house salad with the house dressing and Olive Garden salad. ~Lisa

I was stuck on Thousand Island for about 10 years, got sick of that ,then was stuck on Kens Blue cheese dressing for 10 years.I recently got sick of the Blue Cheese and now I'm stuck on Kraft Cucumber Ranch thanks to all the great deals they had recently and with coupons I was able to try new varieties and find one I like.

I make my own.

Figure out your own proportions. I use a lot of sugar in mine. I just keep adding and tasting it until it tastes good.

oil
mustard
your choice of brown sugar, white granulated sugar or honey, (I seem to do the brown sugar more than the others)
The acid can be lemon juice, lime juice, any kind of vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
a generous amount of blue cheese in the dressing

Like I said, I like it sweet so I use a lot of whatever I choose as a sweetener.

Any greens, I prefer a mix
toasted pecans or almonds, I just put them in a dry skillet and stir them until they start to smell good.
dried cranberries
more blue cheese crumbles or grated any other kind of cheese
sliced onion
sliced bell pepper
Any meat or combination. Crispy real bacon pieces, cut up chicken, (the chicken can be fried, roasted, baked), bits of leftover steak. or ham cubes.

Sometimes, if I have some fresh berries, or other fruit like oranges or peaches, I'll toss some of that in also.

If I do oranges I sometimes put a little soy sauce in the dressing to give it an Asian taste.

Planters puts out tins of nuts that have sesame sticks, peanuts and cashews in them. They are great toppers for salads and leftover Chinese food. I always keeps these on hand.

Parmesan Peppercorn is my fav right now.
Also like:
Italian---reg or creamy (my old stand by)
Thousand Island
Honey Mustard
Plain Vinegar/Oil

On a poppyseed kick this month, last month honey mustard. We have a salad with dinner every night and right now the garden is producing lettuce like crazy.

Thanks ladies so far for sharing it all sounds so wonderful, on a personal note my dh loves thousand island and its one salad dressing I do not like at all. He also loves good seasons the one where you mix and make yourself, that one is also very good.. Thanks again... peace. Catherine

Hendrikson's salad dressing is really great on salad and I also use it for a veggie marinade- it's very light and also low calorie

I also like CHUNCKY Blue cheese dressing usually kraft Roca. my salads tend to be plain olettuce and whatever produce I have around that sounds good. I always have to have some kind of crunchy and not necessarily croutons!!!

Catherine, after your comments on burgers, (in the burger thread), and being a vegetarian, I'm surprised you would use a bottled dressing. I seldom use one because they make both my husband and me sick. I'm not sure why. I'm thinking it has to be the additives, or the spices. But we eat spicy food often without the same results.

Chunky blue cheese or cucumber ranch

balsamic vinaigrette is my favorite. I have purchased the fresh and easy one and it is really good.
I also love cilantro dressing.

Homemade ranch is also the best with fries!

Chunky Blue Cheese, Sweet Vidalia Onion, and Russian. I like to mix a couple of these on any lettuce salad.
I make my own Russian dressing and also French, Poppy Seed, and Blue Cheese.

In response to Wildwood can I honestly ask why you would think I would not eat bottled salad dressing because I do not eat meat, no offense I just do not understand why you would ask that or perhaps because I do not eat meat, how would that relate to eating bottled salad dressings. Also while I do know eating any food bottled or not can make you sick , I have never gotten sick, the only thing I can relate it to would be if the salad dressing was expired or if perhaps once opened and not put in the refrigerator to keep it fresh would make you sick. Again just asking as you asked me, as far as hamburgers any take out hamburgers again I think personally they all stink are bad for your health. If a person chooses to eat a hamburger I would feel much knowing they came from a pop and mom type of diner perhaps. It is not only hamburgers I am also concerned about any fast food especially dealing with meat, like taco bell, yuck, who really knows what is in that meat. Oh well to each his own... Peace. Catherine

I love thick homemade Bleu Cheese dressing with big chunks of cheese. I used to hate it but I like to spoon it on steak and hamburgers now.
