We're trying to eat salad with dinner every night, and I'd love some salad dressing suggestions! I'd prefer just to buy it because I'm lazy, but if you have any great recipes, I'd be open to making them too!
Bonus if the dressings are healthy!
-
This is only 50 calories and so good!
-
I like creamy Italian from Kraft foods (I think).
-
I love Kraft Pesto Parmesan in their olive oil line. Mmmm
-
These are my favorites right now.
-
Cilantro dressing from Trader Joe's
-
i do a simple dressing - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard and honey.
-
This is my current fave. Kewpie brand Deep roasted sesame.
-
Annie's Goddess Dressing-light. Also Annies Light Honey Mustard. Yum!
-
This one is my absolute favorite and tastes delicious with almost all types of salads!

Paul Newman's Oil & Vinegar is also a good one.
-
If I'm going to buy a dressing, I like Annie's brand.
-
Trader Joe's champagne-pear vinaigrette is delicious and actually pretty healthy as far as salad dressing goes. 45 calories/2.5 grams of fat per 2 tablespoon serving.
ETA: here's the bottle. It has a little gorgonzola in it, too, but the flavor isn't too strong (I'm not a huge blue cheese fan and I love this stuff).
-
We get olive garden's dressing at Sam's club. We also like krafts raspberry vinaigrette.
-
if i'm buying dressing, it's ginger dressing (which is like all i can tolerate these days), either the genji ginger miso dressing from the sushi bar at whole foods, or the makato ginger from fresh direct.
-
@sunny: Omg, where do buy it? We can't get kewpie anything here...
-
@Freckles: Do you guys have an asian market? I get mine at my local Japanese grocer but its on Amazon as well.
-
I'm a fan of hidden valley ranch. I mix it with a little red wine vinegar.
-
Omg, Drew's shiitake ginger dressing is so good, I don't let myself buy it too often. Mmmm.

nomnomnom. I just buy balsamic or ranch!
-
Vinaigrette is super easy: Dijon mustard, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. All you have to do is shake it up, or whisk it if you're not using a lidded container. The proportions are to taste, but my ratios are something like: 2 tbsp mustard, 1/3 cup oil, 2 tbsp balsamic, 3 tbsp red wine vinegar, and a clove of garlic.
I make it in a jar and we use over the course of a week. It is also really good mixed into grated carrots, and super kid-friendly, because the balsamic makes it sweet.
-
@sunny: oh I love that stuff!!! Definitely my favorite..
@MrsSCB: that looks delicious, I'll have to look for it! -
We usually make our own but I also love Goddess Dressing from Trader Joe's.
-
Trader Joe's Goddess dressing. It's not the healthiest but a little bit goes such a long way for me so it's not like I'm dousing my salad in it. It is so good!
-
Gazebo Room's Greek salad dressing is my favorite bottles.
I also usually have some honey balsamic vinaigrette in the fridge:

@Mrs. Bee: Annie's is pretty good- I like the cowgirl ranch and the goddess but my most favorite is whole foods 365 brand Caesar!
-
@lovehoneybee: I was going to post gazebo room! And it's made 5 miles from my house so I consider it local, heh. I just wish it didn't have msg in it.
-
I like the Opa greek yogurt caesar. Also the Newman's Own light sesame, and I loooove homemade ranch. The olive garden light italian makes a really good chicken marinade. Has some weird stuff in it, but whatever.
-
I love Trader Joes Greek Feta dressing! It is my new favorite
-
@Mrs. Bee: galeo miso Caesar!
-
I am crazy about this dressing. It's basically all I use now and makes a great marinade. A must for a garlic lover!
-
For a side salad accompanying dinner I like just garlic evoo + balsamic vinaigrette so it doesn't overpower the meal.
@Freckles: Mmm that sounds yummy!!
-
Annie's goddess dressing! Mmmm. The Newman's Own dressings are pretty good too.
-
Brianna's Real French vinaigrette. Tastes nothing like French dressing though! Also a long time fan of Kens straight up Italian dressing. . .
-
I love Brianna's with the strawberry on it! Or trader joes sesame soy dressing
-
@luckypenny: hey lady, didn't you just have a baby!? how are you posting?!
-
@sunny: baby is sleeping and I feel great! Plus now I'm hungry for salad lol
-
@luckypenny: hehe... glad you're doing great!
