Balsamic Smoked Honey Vinaigrette

Funny how things happen sometimes. We were grabbing lunch at one of our local favorite pizza joints not long ago. The lunch special comes with a small side salad. For the dressing my wife went with the balsamic smoked honey vinaigrette. I was intrigued. She was intrigued. Smoked honey? You know, that has to be good. Well, it was. It was “bring me a bottle of that dressing so I can drink it” good. Of course, that means I had to make a version of it when I got home. And it was good. Very good.

Balsamic Smoked Honey Vinaigrette

A Different Kind Of Salad Dressing

This is a great, simple dressing even without the smoked honey. With it, this balsamic smoked honey vinaigrette becomes something a bit different. The smoke flavor isn’t overwhelming, but it’s there. Kinda in the background. It adds to the flavor but doesn’t overwhelm it. Depending on the honey that you use, I recommend adding just a bit at first and tasting to see if you want to add more.

Smoked honey is fun to cook with. I like substituting it for ‘regular’ honey in any recipe that calls for it.

Aunt Trish’s Salad Dressing

We always look forward to “Salad Week” here. Before I started cooking “Salad Week” would not have been something I would have looked forward to. Bottled dressings. Uninspired ingredients. Now I am happy when it’s “Salad Week”, thanks to fantastic salad ingredients and great homemade salad dressings, like Aunt Trish’s recipe. Now, I don’t have an Aunt Trish but if I did I’d tell her thanks for the recipe!

Aunt Trish’s Salad Dressing

Aunt Trish’s salad dressing is a great vegetable oil-based dressing. It is packed with Parmesan and garlic flavors. But, it absolutely MUST sit in the fridge overnight to ‘get happy’ before serving. Trust me. Do not try and rush it. And it MUST be removed from the fridge well before you plan on using it to let the oil return to a liquid form since it solidifies in the fridge. Your patience will be rewarded.

Kick It Up…. Or Not

If you like your dressing to have a bit of a spicy kick, don’t hesitate to toss a pinch or two of red pepper flakes into the mix before shaking. As it is, though, Aunt Trish’s salad dressing is perfect. I don’t like strong citrus-flavored dressings, and this one does not disappoint. Now, I am a big fan of garlic so I might have slipped a little extra in when no one was looking. Don’t tell.

Quick Fix BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

A lot of the signature sauces you get at restaurants start with simple, off-the-shelf ingredients. A restaurant near us starts with a bottled BBQ sauce and Ranch, just like with this quick fix BBQ Ranch dressing. They then add a few other ingredients (such as crumbled cooked bacon) to make it different for different dishes. One version is for dipping onion rings. Another is perfect for dunking chicken wings. They also have a spicy version of their house Ranch salad dressing for well, you guessed it, salads.

Quick Fix BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

Great On Fries, Burgers And Wings!

This quick fix BBQ Ranch dressing isn’t just for salads. That’s for sure. I squirted it on a big plate of French fries. Then I dipped grilled chicken wings in it. I slathered it on hot-off-the-grill hamburgers. Heck, it’s great on wraps too!

Just make sure you start with good, quality BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing. And don’t hesitate to use a spicy BBQ sauce, or one with a bit of smoky flavor to it.

This dressing will last a while in the fridge, if there happens to be any leftover. Just make sure to give it a good shake or stir before serving.

Dill Ranch Salad Dressing

We recently spent a few days at the Dollywood DreamMore Resort and Spa. We had such a wonderful time there. From driving up, to the room, to the staff, everything was great. One of the biggest highlights was the buffet. Normally when you think buffet you think low quality food, mostly out of cans or boxes. That’s definitely not the case at the DreamMore. Everything was made from scratch and everything was out-of-this-world delicious. It was the buffet from heaven.

One of the things I loved the most at the DreamMore, interestingly enough, was the house-made dill Ranch salad dressing. It was delicious. I could’ve just drank it out of the bottle. I knew instantly that I had to make some when I got home. Now, this version is mighty good, too, but I’m pretty sure that the DreamMore version used fresh herbs (they had a nice herb garden right outside of the restaurant). Even still, this is delicious and a perfect alternative to ‘normal’ Ranch.

Dill Ranch Salad Dressing

The Resting Time Is Not Optional

Do not be tempted to rush the 1 hour rest time that this dill Ranch salad dressing needs. Those dry herbs need time to make the dressing happy. I really love dill so I added a bit more than the recipe calls for. More dill, more better I think.

For the best results use full-fat sour cream, mayonnaise and milk, though lighter versions can be substituted you’ll get a thinner less creamy and rich dressing.

Homemade Thousand Island Salad Dressing

There are certainly a whole lot of homemade Thousand Island dressing recipes out on the internet and in cookbooks. They’re everywhere. But I found this one to be slightly different. The flavor is richer. It’s deeper. And it has just a little spicy kick to it. It’s different and just better than the rest. And it uses ingredients that I have on-hand. That’s a plus. Perfect on a salad, and even better on a Reuben sandwich.

Homemade Thousand Island Salad Dressing

Add A Little Spice. I Did.

I wasn’t shy with the hot sauce when I made this homemade Thousand Island dressing. Now, I wasn’t making spicy wing sauce, no, but I wanted to get that spiciness. So many dressings are just creamy. Or just vinegary. A little heat changes things up. But you don’t have to.

So why is it called Thousand Island dressing? Because it came from the Thousand Island region between the US and Canada. I didn’t know that either.

Parmesan and Peppercorn Ranch Salad Dressing

This parmesan and peppercorn ranch salad dressing kinda confused me at first. I love ranch dressing. I love peppercorn ranch dressing. And parmesan, well I put that on everything. But when I first tasted it my mouth was like ‘What are you doing to me? Everything we love in one bite?’ Yep. That’s exactly what I was doing. This dressing is a wonderful combination of all those flavors. Get ready for a happy salad! (And mouth!)

Parmesan and Peppercorn Ranch Salad Dressing

Not Creamy Smooth. But Close.

This parmesan peppercorn ranch salad dressing has parmesan in it. I know, you know that. But I’m saying it because you might expect a creamy, smooth dressing like ranch. And it is that… with a little nutty cheese added in. The cheese adds not only flavor but texture. It’s kinda different and a whole lot yummy.

Quick Fix Franch Salad Dressing

Franch dressing is proof that sometimes easy is truly best. I could’ve made some French dressing from scratch. And I could’ve made some Ranch dressing from scratch. But hey, it was a busy weeknight and I wanted something a little different. So out came the bottled dressings. A little stirring and boom, done. And what a delicious combination the two make! Quick fix Franch dressing is way better than just French and just Ranch dressings. The two are better together.

Quick Fix Franch Salad Dressing

The Perfect Flavor Combination

I used a creamy French dressing and a buttermilk Ranch dressing when I made quick fix Franch dressing. You could also use a sweet French dressing, but to offset the sweetness you might want to then use a spicy Ranch or even a Buffalo Ranch dressing. Play with it. There’s no wrong answer here. You can’t make a bad dressing when you start with two great ones.

Jimmy John’s Billy Club Sub In A Tub

I find it hard to beat a quick-and-easy Jimmy John’s Billy Club sub in a tub for lunch. I can make it in minutes. Actually, I can devour it in minutes too! I just love the combination of fresh, crunchy lettuce, tomato, provolone, and of course meats. This salad was topped with roast beef and ham, two of my favorites.

Jimmy John's Billy Club Sub In A Tub

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Jimmy John’s Billy Club sub in a tub is really easy. And I so love the end results. I use a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces. I chop them into bite-sized pieces but you could tear them instead. All that’s left to do is slice a few sandwich meats and some cheese. A little chopped tomato and I’m ready to eat.

The Finishing Touches

Oops! Not quite ready to eat yet! I always add a bit of salt and pepper. Well, I have an asterisk to that. If the sandwich meats I use are high in sodium, and they often are, I will skip the salt. But I never skip the pepper.

All I need is my favorite dressing and I’m good to go!

Penn Station Turkey And Provolone Sub In A Tub

It’s sub in a tub week here! Woo hoo! It’s one of my favorite weeks, too. Every once in a while I go on a salad-for-lunch kick. No big ole subs for me. Just nice, fresh loaded 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 go big when I make my Penn Station Turkey and Provolone sub in a tub. Heavy on the turkey. 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!

Penn Station Turkey And Provolone 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 Penn Station Turkey and Provolone 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 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. So I just wait. It’s not like they take that long to cut!
