Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

There’s something about fresh cucumber and a salad. Usually that means slices of cucumber on top of fresh greens. This time I decided to have that fresh flavor in my dressing instead, so I made a small batch of creamy cucumber salad dressing. Creamy (but not too thick) and slightly garlicky (I recommend using half the stated amount at first), this dressing has that fresh cucumber flavor without being too … cucumber-y?

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Better The Next Day

This creamy cucumber salad dressing definitely gets better the next day. It’s one of those dressings that needs that extra time for the flavors to come together. That’s not to say it’s bad when you first make it. Not at all. And truth be told, you could definitely serve it as soon as you make it. But it’s better the next day. So wait. Be patient.

You may want to start with 1/2 a clove of garlic and give the dressing a taste. It’s fairly garlicky with a full clove added.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ: More than 100 Recipes is packed full of great recipes. From BBQ to tailgating to… salad dressing! I picked up a copy because because it just so happened that I was making wings for lunch and I needed something (other than bottled Ranch dressing) for dipping. This blue cheese salad dressing was it. And this will be it from now on, because this is the easiest, best blue cheese dressing you can make. Not only great for wings, it’s great on salads or for dipping veggies. Anything.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Easy. And Great. And Lightly Funky.

It is blue cheese salad dressing so it’s got blue cheese in it! And that of course means blue cheese flavor. And funk. But not too much funk. This is recipe is spot-on perfect in the funkiness category.

There are so many great cookbooks, and so little time. Our local library has online checkout of literally thousands of cookbooks. That’s great and…. sorta not great! Easy access to tons and tons of cookbooks means I read them for hours and hours on end. I end up bookmarking recipe after recipe. And then my stomach starts to growl. So then I end up making recipe after recipe. And the cycle continues! Day after day!

Easy Taco Salad Dressing

I love tacos. I love salad. And I really, really love taco salad! But no plain ole, plain ole dressing will do on my taco salad. Nope. I take a whole 5 minutes (at the most) and make my easy taco salad dressing. It uses ingredients I always have on hand. It’s not fancy but it’s flavorful and has just a slight bit of heat to it. Perfect on a taco salad!

Easy Taco Salad Dressing

As Spicy As You Need

My easy taco salad dressing isn’t spicy. Or it doesn’t have to be, I should say. It’s all about the taco sauce you use. You need to commit upfront. Hot. Mild. Medium. Pick one. You can’t go wrong no matter where you end up. And if you regret your decision, just add some more Thousand Island and French dressings to tame it back down a bit.

Homestyle Garlic Ranch Salad Dressing

When I first read over the recipe for homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing I thought it all sounded good. Except one thing. Onion? In my ranch dressing? I was hesitant. Was it a typo? Well, I hoped for the best and made it as it was written anyways. And boy, am I ever glad I did. This is easily one of the best dressings I’ve ever had, nevertheless had.

Homestyle Garlic Ranch Salad Dressing

Ranch. Ish.

On the surface this homestyle garlic ranch salad dressing seems like a normal ranch dressing. It has the same consistency. Smells like ranch (yes I smell my dressings). Looks like ranch. But the onion adds a flavor that really makes it different and amazing.

No Rushing.

When I first made this and tasted it I found the onion to be crunchy and almost overpowering. I hoped for the best, putting in the fridge overnight to get happy. And it got happy. And I got happy. The onion softens and flavors the dressing perfectly.

I try to exercise control when I serve dressings for my salads. I use these little dipping cups to help stop me from just pouring it on. Well you can tell from my picture that it would’ve been impossible to put any more in my cup. I wanted more, that’s for sure.

Creamy Pineapple Vinaigrette

This creamy pineapple vinaigrette was a bit of a departure from my recent Ranch binge. It’s a bit tropical. A bit sweet. Thinner than Ranch, it’s a wonderful change that really kicked my evening salad up a lot. I’m a huge fan of coconut, and this dressing has just enough so that I taste it (and even get a bit of the aroma from it).

Creamy Pineapple Vinaigrette

More Pineapple, Please

I added a bit more pineapple than the recipe for this creamy pineapple vinaigrette called for. You might want to too, especially if you want a bit more of that tropical sweetness. If you end up with any leftover pineapple, just toss it onto your salad.

Don’t use sweetened coconut milk. Instead, use the unsweetened version and add honey to sweeten it to taste. The pre-sweetened milk is just way too sweet for a vinaigrette in my opinion!

Brother Jimmy’s Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing

I have tremendous self-control around delicious Ranch dressings. Ok, no I don’t. Not even close to it. And Brother Jimmy’s buttermilk Ranch salad dressing is absolutely no help at all either. This is one crazy-good dressing. It doesn’t have a lot of ingredients but yet it comes out fantastically Ranch-y. Perfectly creamy.

The Theory Behind Dressing Cups

I thought I was being smart when I bought these little cups for serving great dressings like Brother Jimmy’s buttermilk Ranch salad dressing. I figured, “Ha!” I’ll just put a single serving amount on the plate and hide the rest in the fridge. That way I won’t use an embarrassingly huge amount of dressing on my salads. Problem? Solved.

Nope.

First, I fill them up all the way to the top. Second, well, more than one cup comes in the box when it arrives. That’s not helpful. And third, well, the fridge isn’t that far away.

I tried. But this dressing is so good it does not help with self-control. Sorry.

Roasted Garlic Salad Dressing

Boy oh boy did I ever love this roasted garlic salad dressing! Great roasted garlic flavor tamed by Dijon and honey. And not overly mustardy, either. That’s a good thing. For me, there is such a thing as too much mustard. I can’t do that ‘mustard pucker face’. And it has the perfect consistency. Not too thick that you need to cut it with a knife. Not too runny so that it just runs right off your salad.

Roasted Garlic Salad Dressing

Make Extra For Marinating

This roasted garlic salad dressing is also outstanding as a poultry marinade, especially for chicken destined for the grill. It is packed with flavor. Just place the chicken into a resealable container. Add enough of the dressing to cover the meat. Turn the chicken once to make sure the dressing covers it well. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Before grilling or cooking shake off any excess marinade. Enjoy!

Creamy Parmesan Salad Dressing

Creamy. Salty. Goodness. That’s this creamy Parmesan salad dressing in just three words. The perfect balance of each can be found in each and every drop. Fantastic on salads. Great for dipping vegetables. And yes, even chicken nuggets (try it!). I recommend going ‘all in’ when you make this dressing. Use real mayonnaise. No light stuff. Get a pizza pie slice of Parmesan and grate it yourself instead of buying the pre-grated stuff. And squeeze your own lemon for juice.

Creamy Parmesan Salad Dressing

Hot Sauce. What?

Yes, this recipe for a creamy Parmesan salad dressing calls for a bit of hot sauce. Do not let that freak you out. We’re not making Buffalo wings. It’s not going to be crazy spicy. Or even spicy at all. Just a little bit gets added to give you a gentle kiss of heat. And flavor. I used Frank’s RedHot. Why? Because it’s my favorite and it’s easy to find. And it tastes great.

Southern French Salad Dressing

Tomato soup? In a salad dressing? I made that “what?” look when I first read over this recipe for a southern French salad dressing. Ketchup? Maybe. Tomato sauce. Perhaps. But tomato soup? Huh. Ok. I’m in! It sounded different. And it tasted amazing! A slight tang, a slight sweetness. There is so much flavor in this dressing that like me, you’ll want more. Good thing this make a big batch!

Southern French Salad Dressing

Grate the Day Away

This southern French salad dressing calls for grated onion. French dressings often do. And if you’re up to it, you can grate the onion by hand. And you’re gonna be doing some grating, too. A whole medium onion worth. Me, I reached for my rotary cheese grater. I use this little dream tool all the time for shredding cheese. Nothing beats freshly-shredded cheese. Well, it also does a great job grating cheese. And onion. In no time. And clean up was easy. And my wrist thanked me!

That Self-Control Thing

I could drink this dressing. When no one is looking of course. No one wants to see you drinking salad dressing, no matter what they might say. This dressing is certainly tasty enough to drink. Well, to keep myself from going crazy with it, I serve it in little cups. And I keep the rest of the dressing in the fridge. The theory is that it reduces the chances of me going back and getting more.

That’s the theory any way.

Jimmy John’s Hunter’s Club Sub In A Tub

It’s sub in a tub week here! Happy times for sure! Every once in a while I go on a salad-for-lunch kick. No big ole subs for me. Just nice, decent-sized salads. Now, this ain’t necessarily one of them fru-fru fancy light healthy salads. A guy has gotta eat. Work is hard. I work up an appetite. That’s why I love my Jimmy John’s Hunter’s Club sub in a tub. Simple but hearty. Heavy on the roast beef. Heavy on the provolone. And yes, even heavy on the tomato. It’s all good. Just add my favorite dressing and I’m a happy guy!

Jimmy John's Hunter's Club Sub In A Tub

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

To make things go smoothly when I am having sub in a tub week, I do as much preparing ahead of time as I can. That way when it comes time to make my lunch, such as this Jimmy John’s Hunter’s Club sub in a tub, I can have it put together in just minutes. I chop a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces and put them in a sealable tub with a paper towel to help keep them fresh. I use cherry or Roma tomatoes because they hold up well. So, I chop them too and place them into the fridge.

I could pre-cut my sandwich meats and cheese, but I like doing those the day I am having my salad. Who knows, I might change my mind from the day before about what I want on my salad.
