What are your favorite salad bar items?
Comments (24)Spinach, eggs, bacon, olives, strawberries, manderin orange, seeds, cheese, berries, salad greens, most veggies cukes, broccoli, cauliflower etc, no beets can't stand them. If there's seafood yes, if there's meats possibly. I like to mix a dressing if possible raspberry vinaigrette with a few drops of blue cheese, I also like some ranch dressing. At home I have a bottle of raspberry infused wine vinegar, so good, I use that with just a dollop of Ken's blue cheese. Wonderful. I absolutely love flavored vinegars I have a large selection. I add a few drops to my water bottle, very refreshing, better than a twist of lemon. My favorites so far are the raspberry, pear, and pomegranate....See MoreLOOKING for: Your favorite blue/roquefort cheese salad dressing
Comments (7)My late husband was with the Maytag Blue cheese company...I collected lots of blue cheese recipes. Here are a few for salad dressing. DonnÂs Delight 4 oz Maytag blue crumbled 1 cup of mayo ( I use Kraft) 3 oz ( about 1/3 cup) milk or cream 2 tsps sugar 2 tsps dried parsley 1 ½ Tablespoons lemon juice 1 ½ Tablespoons cider vinegar 1 Tablespoon fresh grated onion 1 Tsp Lee and Perrins worchestershire 1 tsp horseradish ½ tspoon garlic powder. Mix gently so as to leave some lumps, and serve over a green salad or on sliced tomatoes or cukes and onions or as a dip for raw veggies. Serves about 6 to 8 Fran's Zesty Blue Cheese Dressing 4 oz Maytag Blue cheese 1/2 cup olive oil 1 tsp grated lemon peel 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 clove of minced garlic 1 cup sour cream. Mash cheese and oil together with a fork until creamy and smooth, add rest of the ingredients and mix well. Makes 2 cups. Rosy Blue Dressing 1 small onion 1 cup mayonaise 1/3 cup olive oil 3/4 cup catsup 2 T cider vinegar 1 tsp Dijon mustard 2 Tablespoons sugar 3/4 teaspoon paprika 4 oz Maytag blue cheese crumbled Put all but the cheese in a food processor and blend until mixed, add blue cheese and pulse to crumble.

Comments (51)Funky, You can use any preserve in that first dressing, as a variation. I don't think the red pepper jelly is terribly sweet; and I suppose one could easily adjust it if they did. I am a fanatic about how a salad is dressed --- 90% of the time I feel they are overdressed. If you dress very lightly and toss, to me the dressing is rarely too sweet because the dressing doesn;t over power. The only bottled dressing I buy is Ken's 1000 Island. My son likes it, and he knows how to make it from mayo, ketchup and relish, but TBH it tastes about the same. I do buy ranch packets, mainly to make dip. Other than that, I make my own. It lasts fairly long and to me it tastes a zillion times better. I have tried all of the fancy bottled ones, and they just don't cut it for me. As far as going bad ..I mean, the vinaigrette has vinegar ... a preservative. And the dairy based ones; you can usually smell if they have turned. I make half batches. FWIW:The "shelf life" of salad dressings varies somewhat. Generally, vinaigrettes can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Dairy-based dressings, like buttermilk, and dressings made with fresh ingredients, like chopped onion, fresh herbs, tomato sauce and chopped hard-cooked egg, will keep up to 1 week....See MoreDo you have a favorite seafood salad dressing recipe?
Comments (11)I'm a bold flavor person but not necessarily with expensive seafood. No vinegar or horseradish or tomato paste... Lots of lemon. Dressed very simply. I lost my post last night via an edit....must have deleted when pups went nuts over a critter in the yard and DH home overly vocal/chatty as well. With Salomon, crab, cod cakes, I like most of the above on the side. Way less mayo by a 1/4. Shrimp salad and lobster rolls, one tBsp when a recipe calls for a 1/4 cup. Adds just enough creaminess like 2 % milk. Very clean with lemon also at the table. A shrimp boil we like a side dish/bowl rich remolade. Excellent as a choice. A google image search for 'seafood salad'... We prefer the Italian/Greek Mediterranean dressed seafood salads. Like on the right. Personal choice. No different than how one likes their burger or pizza...thick/thin. Deep dish/crispy. Tuna salad sandwiches also. I add so much veg, nuts, seeds, fruit. Some like it simple with lots of mayo. This pic from 2019, probably xmas eve....still in the stainless bowl, waiting to add scallops and shrimp that are poaching....to toss. Greek style with a bit of olives, capers, chopped cucumber I'm guessing. No mayo in this type salad....See Moretrsinc
