Getting bored with my daily salad. What are some interesting salad dressings?

[BRealistic]

And no Ranch.

[ZeRo_C0oL]

I generally like italian dressings, but Outback has an incredible mustard vinaigrette that I absolutely love!

I feel your pain. F-ing boring salad.

These are all awesome

Green Goddess.

it's good on salad, pizza, fries, tater tots, etc.

[StayGold11]

really the possibilities are endless
if you have a blender or food processor you can make any dressing
if you've never made an oil/vinager based dressing, it's pretty simple- add all ingredients except oil, turn on blender, very slowly drizzle in oil, and voila! dressing.
white balsamic vinager makes an excellent dressing, I'm too lazy too google recipes right now though

Chart House Bleu Cheese dressing on copykat.com is really good.

Don't add the salt. The cheese has enough salt in it.

I've had a few of these, they're pretty good.

I'm using this, in it's light form.

[Orzel Bialy]

I like Krafts Tangy Tomato Bacon.

[Katie-S]

I make my own. Super simple.

Use a 5-3-1 ratio of oil, vinegar and mustard. then throw in whatever herbs you like. Sometimes I throw in a little mayonnaise to emulsify it all.

Today I just made a ginger-soy dressing that's really good.

5 TB oil (I used regular canola oil blended with peanut oil and sesame oil but it all added up to 5)
3 TB rice wine vinegar
1 TB mustard (today it was dijon)
Crushed garlic
Smashed up ginger
Splash of soy sauce

Boom, done.

Avocado oil makes a really good dressing, too.

Weird. I just use Lucini extra virgin olive oil and Fini Balsamic Vinegar

[Cooper]

Us, too. We have salads for lunch at least 4 days a week. By mixing up vinegars, it keeps it varied: balamic, apple cider, wine, etc.

A different dressing is good when the "I'm tired of oil and vinegar" hits.

A different dressing is good when the "I'm tired of oil and vinegar" hits.

Yeah, it hits every night for me. I have the same spinach, red pepper, cucumber, onion salad every night. I alternate between pepitas, sunflower seeds or honey roasted peanuts. Kalamata olives and feta if I'm feeling a lack of sodium.

[Katie-S]

There's a big section of Bosnian foods in my neighborhood supermarket, and sometimes I'll get a big jar of pickled red peppers in oil to throw in a salad.

When I add those, no dressing necessary except for maybe a little splash of balsamic to sweeten it all up.
