They have tons of "spice blends" specifically for salad dressings. I'm a big fan of their Italian, which I just mix with balsamic and evoo. My parents love Greek Goddess. I've also made their buttermilk ranch... all of them are delicious! Here's a link to all of them:</p> <p><a href="http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyssaladdressingbase.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyssaladdressingbase.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-great-recipes-for-salad-dressing#post-1107019 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:03:43 +0000 MCD919 1107019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These sound so yummy! I love making my own dressing- we never buy it! I'm boring, though. I usually just do red wine vinegar and olive oil. If I'm feeling fancy I'll whisk in spicy mustard, lemon or lime juice, and chopped garlic. Turmeric is also a good spice to add, depending on the type of salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-great-recipes-for-salad-dressing#post-1107015 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:02:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1107015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Imitation Benihana dressing! </p> <p><a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/japanese-steakhouse-ginger-salad-dressing-copycat-shogun-steak-111829" rel="nofollow">http://www.food.com/recipe/japanese-steakhouse-ginger-salad-dressing-copycat-shogun-steak-111829</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-great-recipes-for-salad-dressing#post-1106943 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:35:45 +0000 blackbird 1106943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping because I just made these mason jar salads this week for work and they are GREAT! </p> <p>And i've been harassing @Mrs Jump Rope about her greek dressing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-great-recipes-for-salad-dressing#post-1077047 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:01:16 +0000 CathleyaS 1077047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @Rubies - that's my go to, too! </p> <p>Sometimes when I get really lazy I just do lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper. Great with Arugula and Parmesan cheese.</p> <p>If I have Asian salad mix (mizuna, etc) I'll do sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper.</p> <p>If you're in the mood for a "creamy" dressing that's really low fat, I take a packet of Hidden Valley powder, add a heaping tablespoon of dry dill and shake it up with lowfat milk (add greek yogurt if you want it a little creamier, but I don't even mind it runny) - super low fat but satisfying like ranch/dill dressing. (I used to work at a sandwich/coffee chain in Sacramento and they mixed hidden valley powder with dill and WATER!!! And it was pretty delish, not gonna lie!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-great-recipes-for-salad-dressing#post-1076115 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 10:19:08 +0000 lioneyes 1076115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mustard<br /> olive oil<br /> lemon juice<br /> garlic (let the clove sit in the dressing, them remove it so you just get a little of the flavor)<br /> anchovy paste<br /> sea salt and pepper</p> <p>faux-caesar dressing!
