Blue Cheese Thousand Island Salad Dressing

This is salad dressing elevated. More flavors than I can even describe in each and every bite. This blue cheese thousand island salad dressing quickly became the star of our dinner side salads this week. Hints of traditional flavors but with wonderful bell peppers and blue cheese (and a few other things). This is a crazy-good dressing that I’d make again and again.

Blue Cheese Thousand Island Salad Dressing

Squeeeeeeeze

There is a little trick to making this blue cheese thousand island salad dressing. If you’re not careful, it’ll end up a bit runny and thin. Now, the flavor will still be there so don’t panic if yours is a bit on the thin side. You can prevent it by making sure that the ingredients are as dry as possible before you add them. The ones that aren’t liquid to begin with, that is. It’s kind of hard to pat sour cream dry… Anyways, just make sure the onion for sure is squeezed well to get the moisture out. The peppers and relish, well, just give them a quick dab with a paper towel.

Oh and don’t use anything ‘light’ in this. Light usually means thin and we don’t want thin here.

Down Home Buttermilk Salad Dressing

Me and any salad dressing containing buttermilk are friends. For me, it makes for the perfect basis for a good dressing. This down home buttermilk salad dressing isn’t complicated. There’s really not much in it. It lets that wonderful buttermilk flavor come through, without burying it. This dressing is thinner, but not crazy thin. So it’s also great for dipping veggies. And oh, of course, wings!

Down Home Buttermilk Salad Dressing

Leave It Alone

This down home buttermilk salad dressing needs some alone time in the fridge before you serve it. Just cover it and let it go. Six hours at least. Overnight is better. It’ll thicken up slightly (but not much). And the flavors will meld. Give it a stir and you’re ready to go! It’s just that simple.

Thai Sweet Chili Salad Dressing

Every few weeks or so, we have salads every night of the week. Oddly, it’s known as ‘salad week’! But truthfully, it is a nice fresh change. And it doesn’t mean that it’s a week of sadness. I mix it up by using a large variety of ingredients. And I always make at least one homemade salad dressing. Like this wonderful Thai sweet chili dressing. This dressing is a wonderful combination of tropical flavors, a little heat and a lot of Asian inspiration. This is the kind of dressing that makes me look forward to salad week!

Thai Sweet Chili Salad Dressing

A Lot Of Greatness

Your salad doesn’t have to be Asian in nature to enjoy this Thai sweet chili dressing. It’s great no matter what you toss onto the plate.

I’m a huge fan of coconut milk and I was happy to see that this recipe has plenty of it. And fish sauce. Now, fish sauce is one strong smelling, funky sauce. But don’t fear it. It really makes this dressing amazing. If you’re not sure about it, add a little, taste, and add more if you want. I use an expensive, quality fish sauce. I learned early on that you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to fish sauce.

Tangy French Salad Dressing

My wife and I both made the ‘wow’ face when we first tried this tangy French salad dressing. This is our kind of good stuff. Nice and creamy. Fantastic flavor with a hint of vinegar and a little sweetness. The perfect balance. This dressing made our good salads great!

Tangy French Salad Dressing

A Lot Of Dressing

This recipe for a tangy French salad dressing makes quite a few servings. Don’t let that scare you. You don’t have to use it just for salads. We didn’t. It’s great just for dunking vegetables. Carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, radishes… all of them are better after spending a little time in this dressing. But the real winner? Using the dressing on a sandwich. Skip your usual mayo or whatever you use and try this instead. It’s fantastic on sandwiches!

Roquefort Salad Dressing

Welcome to blue cheese heaven. Breath in that pungent aroma. Taste that funkiness. Creamy smooth, this Roquefort salad dressing is like an avalanche of blue cheese flavor in every bite. Crazy good on a salad. Crazy good for dipping vegetables. Oh and you bet it’s good for wings. Like really really good. Good thing this recipe makes a batch, because you’ll want more.

To Roquefort Or Not To Roquefort

You may not be able to find Roquefort cheese where you are. Don’t let that stop you from making Roquefort salad dressing. You can use any blue cheese you want, really. Ok, so you won’t be able to call it Roquefort salad dressing any more. That’s not anything to lose sleep over. This is a great dressing no matter what. Yeah, it’s better with the real thing but it’s still fantastic with any blue cheese.

It’s ‘put-an-obscene-amount-of-dressing-on-your-salad’ day! I’m going to celebrate with this thick and creamy blue cheese salad dressing. I’ll try to control myself but I know I won’t. This dressing is right up my alley. The right consistency. The right blue cheese ‘funk’. Creamy. Oh yes, I’m going to use too much. I knew that when I made it. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy things!

Save The Light Stuff For Later

This thick and creamy blue cheese salad dressing isn’t light. It’s not lo-cal. It doesn’t even pretend to be. It’s supposed to be in-your-face bold and decadent. And it is. Hey, sometimes I want my dinner salad to be an event. Something memorable. And something that satisfies. Well this dressing is a great way to accomplish all of those things.

This stuff is great for dipping Buffalo wings. Big time 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.

Smoky Spicy Ranch Salad Dressing

We both declared this smoky spicy Ranch salad dressing to be one of our favorites. And that was after just one bite of a salad lightly drizzled with the dressing. It brings a good bit of heat, there’s no doubt, thanks to the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. And a bit of smokiness thanks also to the chipotles in adobo sauce. And then there’s classic Ranch flavor, thanks, well, to the Ranch dressing mix! It might seem like there are a good number of ingredients to make a dressing, but trust me, it’s more than worth it.

Smoky Spicy Ranch Salad Dressing

What Ranch Dressing Should Be

As with a lot of dressings, smoky spicy Ranch salad dressing is much better if it has had a chance to sit overnight in the fridge. The flavors get ‘happy’. Just give the dressing a quick stir before serving. I like to make and keep my dressings in Mason jars. When it comes time to serve it, I just give the dressing a few good shakes first.

This dressing would also make for a great dip for vegetables. It would also be fantastic for dipping chicken nuggets or tenders.

Smoky French Salad Dressing

Not every salad dressing has to be garlicky. Or herby. A little spiciness now-and-then is a good thing, even in a salad dressing. That’s why this smoky French salad dressing was such a hit in our house. Salad Week (which happens at least once a month) was definitely a happier time with this dressing on hand. It’s essentially what you think. A classic French dressing kicked up with a chipotles in adobo sauce (smoked jalapenos, along with some of the delicious sauce they come in) for heat and smokiness.

Smoky French Salad Dressing

Great On Sandwiches Too!

This smoky French salad dressing would be great on more than ‘just’ a salad. First thing I thought of was a Reuben sandwich. Yeah, I know usually that means Russian or Thousand Island dressings, but this salad would bring a nice spicy edge to each and every bite. It’d be different for sure and that’s a good thing. I think I’ll give that a try!

I like to keep my homemade dressings in Mason jars in the fridge. When it comes time to serve them I just take them out, give them a good shake or two, and I’m ready to get to salad eatin’!

Sesame Salad Dressing

My wife quickly declared this sesame salad dressing as one of her all-time favorite salad dressings. She loved the light hint of sesame oil and soy sauce, with just a touch of sweetness. A hint of vinegar. And creamy mayonnaise. They hit all the right notes for her. It’s not a thick sauce, not at all. It’s just slightly thicker than say, Italian dressing. And it’s perfect on a garden salad.

Sesame Salad Dressing

Don’t Rush

Although you can try and rush this sesame salad dressing, don’t. Resist the temptation to do that. Let it rest at least 30 minutes before serving. At least. And if you can, let it sit overnight so that the flavors get happier. As I note in the recipe, you might want to adjust the amount of sesame oil. Although my wife and I both are fans of sesame oil, we find that a little goes a long ways. We felt that one tablespoon was perfect for us. So, we recommend that you start with a little, taste, and add more if desired. You can always add more after it has set a while, too. You just can’t take it back out so use it sparingly if you’re like us and are a little sesame oil-shy.
