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.

Classic Thousand Island Salad Dressing

This classic Thousand Island salad dressing was a huge ‘YES’ for me. I loved it. The traditional flavors were spot on fantastic. Just a few ingredients and just a little time were all it took to make one of the best homemade dressings I’ve had. I cannot wait for my next salad when I get to use more of this dressing!

Classic Thousand Island Salad Dressing

Goodnight. Sleep Tight.

You’ll want this classic Thousand Island salad dressing to ‘get happy’ in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Overnight is better. The flavors (particularly that of the grated onion) get much better. Not that they’re bad to start with, but they go into super-delicious mode after a good night’s rest.

I like to taste my dressings right after I make them. For sure, you want to do that to make sure you have the seasonings right. When I first tasted this one, it wasn’t as ‘Thousand Island-y’ as I wanted. I resisted the temptation to mess with it. To add more of something. My resistance was rewarded. It just needs a little time for the flavors to meld. No messing with it is required!

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, specially 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 then 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 a such 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, specially 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.

Honky Tonk Sweet and Spicy Salad Dressing

Sweet and spicy is right. I admit, though, I’m not sure about the Honky Tonk part. But even still, what a great dressing! It has a nice vinegar hit to it. And I spicy kick, thanks to the addition of Sriracha sauce. And my favorite, celery seed. I absolutely love celery seed in everything from a salad dressing to a BBQ seasoning rub to coleslaw. If you’re looking for a break from your tired old salad dressing, this Honky Tonk Sweet and Spicy salad dressing is it. Don’t be shy with it. Load up. You’ll thank me.

It Gets Better With Time

This Honky Tonk sweet and spicy salad dressing gets even better as it sits. You should let it ‘get happy’ for a few hours. But I have to say, it didn’t sit long in our house. I really like this dressing a lot. It’s different in a very, very good way. I like to make a double batch and keep it in salad dressing serving bottles in the fridge. I’m kind of a dressing addict so it’s best that I have extra on hand at all times. It’s always better to have too much instead of not having enough!
