Salad Dressing

What's your favorite kind?

My favorite: a good & big Caesar salad.
Also, I've aquired a taste for blue cheese as I've gotten older, but it can't be a cheap kind.

BTW, my first college roommate had never had salad dressing when he started college. Really.

Also, when I was little my father would eat liver with Thousand Island dressing. Really.

What's your favorite salad dressing?

When we have pasta, I like a nice homemade italian salad with oil and vinegar. I went through a big phase with French dressing and blue cheese in my younger years. I was also quite partial to honey mustard for a while. Now, it depends on what kind of meal i'm having. I do like caesar salad now and again.

We have a place called Salad Works Cafe up here...it is a chain so you might have them where you all live. It's $7 for a salad but it's huge and they are sooo good. Turkey club salad with french dressing. It's a good time

I think my favorite would be a really good blue cheese but I rarely eat it because it is fattening. The one dressing I don't like is ranch.

Grape jelly for me.

I won't use anything but Newman's Ranch. If I go out to eat, I bring a bottle of it with me.

Number 1 - Hidden Valley low fat Ranch. I live in Texas, y'all. We put it on EVERYthing - pizza (don't knock it 'til you've tried it), fries, etc...they should sell it by the gallon.

Marie's low fat blue cheese is yummy. I also like Marie's bacon dressing for spinach salads.

Wishbone fat free Italian - makes a good marinade too.

Yesterday, I got the Martha's Vineyard salad from Arby's (yes, I resisted the Big Montana) and it came w/ a raspberry vinaigrette, which was really yummy...

As a fellow Texan, I second that. However, I prefer the real thing---no fat free for me!

Honey mustard is the bomb, I dip my fries in that too! Ketchup is so passe nowadays...

We have Souper Salad down here. It's so-so. Livia & Cliffdweller, do you go to Fresh Choice near the Arboretum?

As the others said, ranch is huge down here. I'll eat it but it's not a favorite. It's like cole slaw. It's just there.

No wonder your so popular. Quit stuffing the bottle in the front of your pants.

Low fat ranch is good - but fat free is icky...I like Stubb's BBQ sauce and/or Lea & Perrins steak sauce for dippin'.

Jake - I used to go Fresh Choice all the time, when I worked in that area. There's a Souper Salads down south on Lamar & Ben White. I prefer a drive-thru for a quick salad, I have no self-control in the all-you-can-eat places.

Blue cheese and bacon? Oy, what does your bubbe say!

I'm not a huge fan of low-fat blue cheese, but it's tolerable.

Lamar & BW is where my ex lives. Every time I'd go down there we'd run into each other. Definitely worth avoiding.

Self control is not necessary at all-you-can-eat. You burn the calories every time you walk up to get more food.
