Favourite Salad Dressings? - Page 2

Another fav - Panera's Greek herb vinaigarette. Its 1g carb/serving. I buy it in a bottle in the refrigerated section at Super Target. Obviously, you can also get it at Panera restaurant too.

I made a super yummy 1000 island dressing today. Just mixed up some mayo with a little lc ketchup, sf sweet relish, dill relish, Worcestershire, and vinegar and tiny bit of splenda to taste. I just adjusted this and that until it taste right. I was craving it and was happy with the results

Another vote for Marie's Creamy Italian garlic! Love this stuff, going to try the blue cheese now for wings.

Ntombi · 01-22-2013, 01:24 AM

Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese (claims 0g carbs, so I count it as 0.4g per 2TBS).

Their ranch is 1g per serving and also good.

1000 Island Dressing

All measurements are approximate as I am one of those cooks!

1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar alternative
1/8 cup white vinegar
2 cups homemade mayo
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle (or pickle relish)
1/4 cup chopped red pepper

Put everything in a blender or food processor (I use my mini-Ninja).

Reuben Casserole

1 large jar sauerkraut, well drained (I usually pour it into a strainer and leave it to drain/dry out a bit all day)
Corned beef or pastrami (I use whatever is in the fridge, in whatever amount that is!)
Swiss cheese
1000 Island Dressing

In 9x13 or crockpot, layer all ingredients. Bake 350 for 1/2 hour or until cheese is melted and warmed through.

For crockpot, low for 2-3 hours.

Serve with extra 1000 Island Dressing.

Do you know if this can be frozen ? I'm making it tonight or tomorrow and can't wait

clare_o · 01-27-2013, 03:09 PM

I love plain old mayo as a dressing, I also like creme fraiche with some crushed chillies thrown in. Waitrose (I'm in the UK) do an amazing creamy blue cheese dressing, it's to die for!

That's my go to dressing also

Sting · 01-28-2013, 07:14 AM

standard

Olive oil
vinegar
Sea salt

For verity buy different kind of herbs where i buy they have all different types like Italian herbs etc etc just mix all different kinds on their own or couple together only don't overdo it for verity and throw in mustard's if you like.

Sometimes also add some nuts walnuts macadamia nuts almonds all crushed over the top for taste

Key is verity so you don't get bored instead of having nuts everyday in the dressing or mixing up all the herbs together have them on different days alone etc.

Big Stevie · 01-28-2013, 07:53 AM

I have never thought of making my own. I guess it is time to start doing it.

I would imagine it would freeze well; just make sure you have completely drained the sauerkraut or you will wind up with Rueben Soup

This sounds so good, I will be making it, thank you!

anglgrl · 01-28-2013, 09:05 AM

I make my own Lemon Vinaigrette (I put it on my salmon too). I've also just put melted butter on a salad.

imstarryeyed · 01-28-2013, 10:39 AM

I love to mix sour cream and pico de gallo. I've also mixed sour cream with diced tomatoes from the can or/an canned diced chiles.

Girlieschmoo · 01-28-2013, 01:29 PM

THIS IS THE ADJUSTED RECIPE...IT SHOULD BE "1/2 cup red pepper" not "1/4"

shelby'snana · 01-28-2013, 02:36 PM

shelby'snana · 01-28-2013, 04:10 PM

pulled it out and had a small bowl. Very very good ! Try it !

Bamboozled · 01-29-2013, 01:04 PM

I love ranch but also worry about the oils in them from store bought.

Anyone have a good and relatively easy ranch dressing recipe?

HarmsWay · 01-29-2013, 01:53 PM

Avocado, olive oil, salt (my favorite for salad)
Olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper (additional spices or lemon depending on my mood)
