Salads Dressing?

I've been a big fan of Ken's (store bought) Caesar salad dressing.
But that's me. What's yours?

Homemade MUST include a recipe.

Happy July 1st!!! Do I hear somethings sizzling? 🙂

I like Ken's dressings, too. Raspberry Walnut, Greek, Italian with aged
Romano, Balsamic Vinaigrette........ yum. When I feel like eating [censored],
their Honey Mustard and Country French dressings are really good, too. I
particularly like to dip asparagus in the Honey Mustard - it makes an
excellent dipping sauce!

I like Annie's Naturals Shiitake mushroom and Sesame. And I like the
wishbone Green Goddess but they don't sell it here.

Where do you find Ken's dressings? With the other dressings in the
condiment aisle or in the refrigerated section? I'm not sure I've seen
this brand.

Most of the time we do our own dressing with oil, vinegar, salt, pepper,
parm cheese and maybe some garlic and basil.

For bottled dressings, I like Hidden Valley Ranch (usually Light);
Girard's Caesar; the various Newman's vinaigrettes; and, (when I'm
trying to keep fat and calories down) Kraft FREE Thousand Island and
Caesar.

For homemade dressings, I like this buttermilk dressing from Pam
Anderson (I use Hellman's light mayo, low-fat sour cream, and full-fat
buttermilk, and vinegar instead of lemon):
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Creamy-Buttermilk-Dressing/Detail.aspx

After whisking together, I add 4-5 finely chopped chives. I may put
blue cheese into my portion of the dressing (my husband doesn't like
blue cheese).

My favorite vinaigrette is from Julia Child. I use the mixing-in-the-
bottom-of-the-bowl technique. I love shallots in salad dressing.
VINAIGRETTE

Makes about 1/2 cup (enough for 2 1/2 - 3 quarts salad greens)

1 - 2 Tbsp. excellent wine vinegar, or
a combination of vinegar & lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. dry or Dijon mustard (optional)
6 - 8 Tbsp. best-quality olive oil or salad oil
fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp. minced shallots or scallions and/or
1/4 tsp. dried herbs (tarragon, basil, etc.)

Either make the dressing in an empty salad bowl: Beat vinegar (or
vinegar/lemon juice), salt, and optional mustard in the bowl to
dissolve the
salt. Then beat in the oil by droplets, and finally the optional
shallots or
scallions, and any seasonings.

Or, place all ingredients in a covered jar, shake vigorously to blend,
and
correct seasoning.

One of my favorites on tomatoes is just mayo and ketchup

Recipe:
Put a gob of may in a cup
Add ketchup and mix. If you want it more pink, add more ketchup.

On cucumbers and onions our favorite is sour cream and vinegar

Recipe:
Put a gob of sour cream on the cucumber slices
Add a little vinegar and mix
Let stand at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

My sister would put a DROP of ketchup on coins of cucumbers.

We just passed her off as retarded.

Maybe she was ahead of her time. Perhaps she would switch to aged
basalmic vinegar today?

LOLOL

That was so long ago. Funny thing was she loved ketchup but hated tomatoes.
Retarded. Or something!

We gave her such a hard time about it. Made her cry. Wish we could take it
back. 🙁 I punched her once for the last pretzel in the box as we sat in
front of the TV and I shot her in the stomach with my bb-gun rifle. THAT
scared me and I left her alone ever since.

And I didn't know but she was my guardian angel, running blocks on the word
that I fell 40' out of a tree, when I was nine years old.

Sis was my hero after that.

What did folks do before the advent of bottled dressing... bottled
dressing hasn't been around all that long. My mother used to toss a
bowl of salad fixings or build a composed salad with a couple tins of
bristling sardines and the juice of lemon... sometimes instead of
sardines a couple cans of chopped anchovy fillets. Those are still
the best dressing. I don't know about all those claims to caesar
salad, long before it became in vogue my mother invented it, in fact
it was her mother before her, and probably theirs before them...
caesar salad stories from Mexico are a complete and utter sham.
Norwegians have been building salads with preserved fish dressings
(say herring) of all sorts for thousands of years. My grandfather on
my father's side made the world's best caesar/nikita salad dressing
long before Caesar was a twinkle in his mother's eye... beluga caviar,
minced onion, and minced hard cooked egg yolks, all mashed with
vodka... wonderful over sorrel greens, cucumber coins, and sliced
beets.... with a loaf of Russian black bread with butter and black
radish slices, and a platter of boiled beef knuckles with horseradish,
can't get more gourmet

I haven't tried Ken's Caesar salad dressing (must try), but I do like
his honey mustard dressing.

Soon you will. Company for dinner - good old down home American food.
Grilled porterhouse, home-made potato salad (with home-grown onions and
green pepper, plus celery), corn, salad. Boston cream pie for
dessert. Will be eating outside - it's a glorious day, with no
humidity, going to be a high of 80 degrees. Perfect. Have fun,
everyone!

Fer Christ's Sake Sheldon,

As informative as you've been, would you try to break your spew into
separate paragraphs?

Stream of consciousness train of thought is OK but for the rest of the
usenet public, it's kinda/sorta tiresome.

Get with the rest of the program?

At ease, sailor.

Mince a clove of garlic.

Mince a shallot.

Add several dollops of yoghurt.

Add salt and pepper.

Mix.

[Optional]: Dill, oregano, or other herbs.

Low cal and tasty too.

Cardini's Caesar. I put it on steamed broccoli. I use it instead of of
mayonnaise on sandwiches. I make a sort of salad with minced vegetables
and a full bunch of parsley. For the dressing, I use 2 parts Cardini's,
1 part oil, and 1 part lemon juice.

I like this variation on Julia's above:
Using:

1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil

Very thick and mustard-y and strong.

I use Gazebo Room Greek Dressing as a salad dressing and a marinade or

Virginia Brand Vidalia Onion Vinegarette as a salad dressing

(found only in B.J.'s Wholesale Club on the East coast)

My wife makes her own dressing with olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon
juice, salt, pepper, mustard powder and crushed garlic. It's great. Once
in a while I use bottled blue cheese augmented with some grated blue
cheese.
