Hi grams33, is this the recipe. I posted it last week. It's Ravencajun's recipe and it's just delicious! We had it on taco salad, but it'd be good on any lettuce salad.

AVOCADO DRESSING (Ravencajun)

1 large avocado peeled, mashed
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. garlic salt, up to 1/4 tsp. (I used 1/4)
2-3 drops hot sauce

Mix together and refrigerate several hours to blend flavors.

I used that very recipe last summer and served it with a BLT salad and it was DELISH! DH raved about it. He loves avocados and well, it had bacon. LOL

Not sure if this is the type of dressing you are looking for, but I bet it wold be good over the salad you described..... Theother possibility is to use some Pina Colada concentrate (in the frozen juice concentrate section) and add it to a basic vinaigrette recipe. Good luck I hope you find what you are looking for it sounds really tasty! Alexa *************************************************** Pineapple Salad Dressing Rated: Submitted By: Shawn Nelson Prep Time: 15 Minutes Ready In: 15 Minutes Servings: 6 "Perk up an ordinary salad with this tangy mixture shared by Shawn Nelson of Evansville, Indiana. With sweetness from pineapple juice and a but of zip from cumin, her salad dressing is a refreshing change of pace." Ingredients: 1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice 1/4 cup white vinegar 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 garlic clove, minced mixed salad greens Directions: 1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, cumin and garlic; shake well. Serve with salad greens. Refrigerate leftovers; shake or stir before serving.

Russian dressing recipe 1908
Q

I wouldn't take that recipe as the gospel :-) If you research the history of this dressing you can find varying recipes from around that time that call for different ingredients........including adding Tabasco sauce to provide a piquant flavor and a slightly pink coloration. Some early recipes even call for the inclusion of caviar, which may (or may not) have lead to its being called 'Russian' dressing.........although it is NOT Russian in origin but very definitely an American creation. The version most of us have come to accept as Russian dressing was developed in the early part of the century by a NH grocer who bottled and sold a mayonnaise version (previous renditions were more of a creamy vinaigrette) that included tomato sauce and horseradish beginning in 1910. Here is a popular recipe from 1914: Get a large bowl and mixer, then beat yolk of three eggs, one teaspoon of mustard and one of salt, a dash of paprika and 1/2 cup of vinegar. Mix up well and, while mixing, add 1 pinch olive oil and continue mixing until thick. Strain one-half bottle of chili sauce through a cloth and mix what remains with the dressing. Add some chopped chives and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and the dressing is complete.

Does anyone have a good salad dressing recipe -
Q

If you don't like "tart" dressings, balsamic vinegar is sweeter and rice wine vinegar is milder. Just don't use a lot. We use "Good Seasonings" dressing mix, not overly tart. Hubs doesn't like vinegar either and this is his favorite. He likes to make it with cider vinegar . . . Edited to add that a pinch of sugar also tamps down the "tartness" of vinegar. That's the secret to the commercial 'Good Seasonings" dressing.

Do you have a favorite seafood salad dressing recipe?
Q

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.

Thank all of you for your prompt answer. Avocados were on sale this week so now if I get some lettuce, I will give it a try-unless I eat the avocados first. I love them

If you buy the 5-6 pack of avocados at Sam's Club, they pretty much all become ripe at the same time, so you have PLENTY of avocado to go around. ;)

Flamingo, when Raven posted the dressing recipe she also posted the BLT salad part. I was just so in love with that dressing I could've just grabbed a spoon and eaten it all!

Patti, it is just that good, I could eat it like that, too. :) One of my friends was coming up here for a visit and sent me that recipe and suggested we make it, so we did. It was a big hit.
