I buy Athenos Greek Salad dressing and DH typically uses Good Seasonings. I do make my own on occasion. Every now and then I like Blue Cheese and Dh likes Ranch a lot too.

Uh, when?


I use Italian on sandwiches, Blue Cheese, French or Thousand Island on salads (it's a mood thing), Honey mustard for dipping fried chicken strips into, etc etc etc.

My dressings are just like my teas; I have quite the collection

I like a few:

1. Kraft Asian Sesame
2. Kraft Sundried Tomato and Oregano
3. Caesar
4. Kraft Greek
5. Balsamic
6. Kraft Mandarin Orange (but not as much as the "Asian Sesame" one.
7. Ranch

I like ranch but it has to be hidden valley ranch, zesty italian, and honey french dressings.

I used to only use Italian, then all of a sudden one day I hated it.

Now I'll only use ranch for salads. My particular favorite is any kind of buttermilk ranch, I can't stand the fat-free or low-fat stuff.

I can't have bleu cheese as I'm allergic to penicillin, and that's what the mold in bleu cheese is made out of.

I'm not very adventurous, but I do like, like, 12 different sauces at a time for chicken fingers...

I like Kraft Tangy Tomato Bacon somewhat, but the one I usually eat is Otts "french" dressing (those of you in the lower midwest should know this one, and its not sold anywhere else, I order it online) but I don't like any other dressings, or any other brand of french.

I only started eating this a couple years ago, before that I just had dry salads.

I love Newman's Own Three Cheese Balsamic Vinaigrette, Olive Oil & Vinegar, Caesar Dressing, & Balsamic Vinaigrette. We normally use oil based dressing for salads. Occasionally I will make a huge batch of Chipotle Caesar Dressing to spread on sandwiches or use as salad dressing. For those that like spicy or creamy dressing, I encourage you to try this one. Both DH & I like it spicy so I add extra chipotle en adobo.

Blue Cheese I could never get use to it
You know, I don't like blue cheese, but I have tried blue cheese dressing and I actually liked it.

I LOVE Ranch, not just for salad but to dip my french fries and pizza in it. My other delight is Salad Cream (my friend from the UK got me stuck on it) though Ive never put it on salad... Only with my fries, pizza, and other fried food substances (chicken)

I like a wide variety of dressings, but my very favorite is Ranch, you can't really screw up Ranch. I also like Honey mustard and Balsamic vinaigrette a lot. I love bleu cheese dressing, but I'm really really picky about it, some kinds have a metallic taste that I can't stand!! I work at Eat 'n Park on the weekends, and the bleu cheese dressing we have is to die for

Tried a new one today: Maple Grove Farms Champagne Vinaigrette. It was a little bit sour at first, but I added a touch of sweetener and that fixed it right up -- a very nice light dressing, highly recommended.

Really? I had no idea! I just found out (the hard way) that I'm allergic to amoxicillin, and therefore need to stay away from all the 'cillins. Good thing I've never tried bleu cheese!
Thanks for the tip!

An allergy to penicillin doesn't automatically mean an allergy to blue cheese. Many people who have penicillin allergies can eat blue cheese without any ill affects.

I always make my own out of olive oil and red wine or balsamic vinegar.

Often put a bit of mustard into it, or a bit of garlic etc. depending on what mood I'm in.
