what's your favorite salad dressing?
Comments (56)Back in the day, my favorite commercially bottled salad dressing was Catalina. But they reformulated it to be sweeter (and full of HFCS, but it was the extra sweetness that turned me off) in the 1990s or maybe it was the late 1980s. Right now, it is Annie's Balsamic Vinaigrette. Tart, creamy, not too sweet. No ingredient crud. I intensely dislike sweet salad dressings. When I want sugar, I'll have a dessert. If I want my salad with some level of sweetness, I'll add actual fruit into the salad itself. For a regular vinaigrette, home-made: Juice of 1/2 lemon Add rice vinegar to make 50 mL / 1.7 fluid ounces total volume atop the lemon juice (I used one of those Ball half-pint canning jars, and just added everything directly to that. The metric side of the scale on the jar was more convenient to me.) 1.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard 75 mL / 2.5 fluid ounces of oil. I recommend a 1:1 mixture (approximately 37.5 L/1.25 ounces of each) extra virgin olive oil to avocado oil. See below, and no, I don’t expect this to be measured out Exactly! Two teaspoons Penzy’s Herbes de Provence dried herbal concoction. 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper (approximate) I put it in that Ball canning jar, cap, and shake the devil out of it....See MoreWhat 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 MoreYour favorite egg salad
Comments (38)When I don't want to think about it, I make a simple egg salad with mayo, dash mustard, s&p, sometimes pickles or not. The version with a little curry is just chopped eggs, dash of curry, mayo and s&p. Does anyone eat egg salad on toast for breakfast like I do? It's especially good when in hot weather. Haven't seen anyone call egg salad "deviled egg" which is another thing all together. Thank you for your consideration.......ahem....See MoreWhats Your Favorite Salad?
Comments (25)I'm new here, but will jump right in since it's a food topic! I love ALL salads~~fruit/veggie/lettuce/pasta/potato/egg/tuna or will try something i've never had. I make a salad w/romaine/goat cheese/dried cranberries/candied walnuts and top w/rasberry vinegarette dressing(Paul Newman's is good!). Along with a slice of Health Nut or Pumpernickel bread, it's a meal in itself. My Mom used to make wilted lettuce~YUM! Also a German Potato salad that was TDF! ;o)...See Moredoucanoe
