Salad Dressing

[darklinensuit]

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. :shocked: :shocked:

What's your favorite salad dressing?

[GardenStateGirlie]

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 :nod:

[golden braid]

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.

[CarneVaca]

Grape jelly for me.

[dissention]

Grape jelly for me.

I took you for a marmalade kinda guy.

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

[CarneVaca]

Ah, the porosity! The porosity!

[Livia]

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... :laugh:

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.

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

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. :shrug:

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. :)

Low-fat ranch is nothing but plain runny yogurt. Blechhh.
I used to like honey mustard a lot. Now I'm discovering ketchup, which I never ate as a kid. I was all about mustard.

[macmar71]

I love Blue Cheese Dressing but I also like French Dressing as well.

[littlelies7]

I taken to three-cheese ranch. It has cheese... 'nuff said. :nod:

Mmmmmm... cheese... :nod:

[hayley]

I have a severe addiction to blue cheese dressing. Especially Smokey Bones' blue cheese dressing. MMMMMMMM.

I also am now longer allowed to indulge my blue cheese dressing addiction, so I've resigned myself to FF Ranch, and Trader Joe's soy sesame and balsamic vinaigrettes.

[dissention]

Trader Joe's soy sesame and balsamic vinaigrettes.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm going broke from shopping there. That store has the BEST food on the planet. I have a severe addiction to their soy crisps and chicken 'n green chili pepper burritos. And their Kung-Pao chicken bowls are to DIE FOR.

[hayley]

Trader Joe's RULES. I try not to go too much, but I loooove their soy corn dogs and their guacamole... everything's actually pretty damn cheap there, as well!

The Kung-Pao chicken bowls are on sale for $2.49 this month, so I bought 15 of them on Saturday. :shocked: :lol:

[sparky]

I can damn near walk to a Trader Joe's, and I love it. 90% of what I eat comes from that place. Actually, they are pretty cheap for most stuff - meat, fruits and veg, etc. My favorite store !

Raspberry Vin. dressing - yee haw !

[Johnny Stew]

I'm not a big bottled dressing fan... I prefer oil & vinegar.

But I do love Thousand Island dressing... most especially on a steak salad. :D

[goldie]

I like to make my own with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a pinch of lemon juice, and a pinch of sugar. YUMMY! :blob1:

I'm not too crazy about the bottled salad dressings ... I really only use Wishbone Italian as a marinade.

[jadegypsy]

Italian, not that picky, but I hate the low fat or fat free stuff (odd though since when it comes to diet sodas I can't tell the difference), or oil and vinegar.

[GypsySorcerer]

Ranch is the only dressing I like on my salad.

[darklinensuit]

I love Blue Cheese Dressing but I also like French Dressing as well.

When I was a kid I loved French and Creamy Italian.

When I was little, my aunt and uncle used to take me with them to BJ's and Pace to eat free samples and buy in bulk :laugh:

We have one across the street from the salon so we go there a lot and pick up salads and fruit cups and things. Zagaras might just be a NJ thing. I know there are 2 near me and I think there might be one in Princeton as well.

[darklinensuit]

I know what Costco's is but i've never been to one...we don't have them here

I joined there & Sam's a few years ago on a two teachers for one discount, and then I never went to either place ever. I'm such a smart shopper. :cool:

I like it but annoyed my folks when I was little because I seriously would get stomach aches if I ate it near the smell of the Jersey shore. That ocean smell would turn my insides if I were eating the stuff. I guess I grew out of it because I ate seafood on Sunday when I was in Galveston.
And now I forget what thread I'm in.

When I was little we went to Ocean City a lot and a few times to Wildwood (that place is disgusting except for the Crest). I believe I also stayed in Stone Harbor once. Primarily, we went to Ocean City, Maryland. I've never been to LBI or anything up north in NJ. Have you?

Yea, because i'm sure I even want to see them on New Years Day. I detest the Mummers Parade. A museum is NOT necessary.

I am rather interested in going to the new National Constitution Center that opened up last July. I have to do that soon but I'll most likely need to drag an unwilling and uninterested particpant so I don't have to go on my own :laugh:

I don't drink (Liquor? I hardly knew her!), so the two-buck chuck can stay on the shelves. Even though I must say that the Mick Fleetwood wine looks mighty tasty. :rolleyes:

I don't remember going there when I lived back east, but my mom says they took me a lot when I was little. When I lived in Chicago I used to go to the Art Institute a lot.

I've been there a few times. There is a room on the top floor all the way in the back. It's basically black scribbles on a huge white canvas. People were guarding that room. I know it's "art" but seriously....c'mon now... :distress:
