Briannas Home Style Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing

After I made a salad and served it with Briannas Home Style Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing I decided to search around and see what others thought of the dressing. Personally, I loved it. It’s got the right consistency. It tastes fresh. And it tastes real. But I found others didn’t like it. I think because it’s not as sweet as you might be used to. You can taste the quality ingredients and not additives. It’s not that ‘other dressing’, the one people often reach for when they think Ranch. I do love that one too, but this one definitely tastes like the real thing. It’s great on a salad.

Maybe Not For Wings

I tend to buy a lot of Ranch dressing because besides salads I make a lot of wings. Eat a salad, have some wings. It’s a good trade, right? I wouldn’t use Briannas Home Style Ranch salad dressing for my wings. Not that that’d be a bad idea, I just think this dressing is something special. I don’t usually need to be so picky with the Ranch my wings dive into. But I will be picky with the Ranch that ends up on my salads!

My Pitiful Attempt At Self-Control

I bought these little individually-sized cups for serving my salad dressings. The idea is that I’ll leave the bottle in the kitchen and just pour out enough dressing for my salad. I need all the help I can get specially when it’s around a Ranch dressing that I absolutely love. And look! I didn’t even fill up the cup for my salad!

But that didn’t stop me from going back to the kitchen to get more this time. The dressing won. It’s just too good.

Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Ranch Salad Dressing

I have never dressed a salad with anything from Bolthouse Farms and wondered to myself “Where’s the flavor?”. The Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Ranch salad dressing is absolutely no exception. The Ranch part of the dressing is yogurt-based, not buttermilk. So it’s a bit different than say, your big ole bottle of Ranch you keep around for wings, nuggets and salads. The cucumber tastes fresh and crisp. Like it was just picked yesterday. Creamy and light, it’s a great dressing for any salad.

Lower in Weird Stuff

Oh you know what I mean. We’ve all picked up a bottle of dressing to read the ingredients only to find that they appear to be written in some unknown foreign tongue. Not Bolthouse Farms Cucumber Ranch salad dressing. I could actually pronounce every single one. And they sound normal. They sound good. What a refreshing change!

Briannas Home Style Real French Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

I’ve always been a fan of Italian salad dressing. Briannas Home Style Real French Vinaigrette salad dressing blows every single one of them away and then some. Some dressings are too vinegary. Or too herby. Not this one. Not once did I get that vinegar choke (bleh!). I could drink this dressing straight from the bottle. I absolutely love it.

More Than A Vinaigrette

Briannas Home Style Real French Vinaigrette salad dressing does a lot more than just make for great salads. It’s a great marinade, too. Chicken. Steak. Pork. Or use it as a dressing on green beans. Any recipe that calls for Italian dressing will be even better with this vinaigrette. A lot better.

Bolthouse Farms Everything Seasoned Ranch Salad Dressing

Bored with Ranch dressing? Well, then you need a Ranch dressing that is like no other: Bolthouse Farms Everything Seasoned Ranch Salad dressing. The fine folks at Bolthouse Farms start with their already-delicious Ranch and add garlic (yum!), onion (yum!) and toasted sesame oil (boom!). Then you go drink it out of the bottle. No, I’m kidding about that part. Well mostly. It’s darned good dressing, you’ll be tempted to drink it!

The Perfect Balance

Ok, I gotta confess. Me and sesame oil don’t always like each other. There’s some magical point at which it becomes too much for me. Well, not in this case. Bolthouse Farms Everything Seasoned Ranch salad dressing doesn’t cross my sesame oil line. It has that great toasted flavor without being too strong.

Briannas Home Style Dijon Honey Mustard Salad Dressing

This was our third different flavor of dressing from Brianna’s. Like the Asiago Caesar and Creamy Balsamic ones, Briannas Home Style Dijon Honey Mustard Salad Dressing was absolutely divine. They know dressings over there at Briannas. The mustard flavors aren’t too strong. They’re spot-on perfect. That’s a good thing for me, because too much mustard is … too much! If I can’t resist putting more mustardy dressing on my salad you know that it is balanced perfectly.

Just the right sweetness

There’s just enough sweetness from the honey that you notice it but it’s definitely not overly sweet. Again, balanced perfectly. Nice and creamy smooth, I cannot recommend it enough!

More than a salad dressing

You can use this Briannas Home Style Dijon Honey Mustard salad dressing on more than just salads. If you want to. I mean, heck, it’s crazy good on salads. If you want to use it as a chicken marinade, go for it. Or as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets or veggies. Sure. Go for that too. I’ve even read of people using it as a dipping sauce for egg rolls. That’s an idea I can definitely get behind! Or brush it on a ham as a lightly sweet, lightly mustardy glaze that’s sure to amaze everyone!

Cardini’s Caesar Salad Dressing

Classics are classics for a reason. They’ve stood the test of time and are still around. Caesar dressing has been around for just about 100 years. It was invented in Tijuana by, yep you guessed it, a guy named Caesar. Caesar Cardini. The dressing is a wonderful combination of lemon, olive oil, egg, vinegar, lemon juice and a few other ingredients. Cardini’s Caesar salad dressing uses those same great classic ingredients. This is a great tasting bottled dressing.

The right mount of vinegar

I really enjoyed that Cardini’s Caesar salad dressing wasn’t too vinegary. It’s nice and smooth. Too much vinegar can really detract from what could be a great dressing. Not here. The vinegar has the perfect balance, along with the other ingredients. It’s thick, but not too thick.

You won’t need a whole lot of this dressing to make for a great tasting salad. It’s such a wonderful flavor that you’ll find yourself savoring each and every bite. I’ve seen reviewers refer to it as ‘refreshing’ and I think that describes it perfectly.

To anchovy or not to anchovy

This bottled version does not include anchovies in the ingredients. The original dressing didn’t contain them either. I always thought it was a common addition, but turns out they were added later.

Fresh Thyme Organic French Style Salad Dressing

Oh yum. I do love French dressing. It’s probably tied with Ranch on my go-to list. Fresh Thyme Organic French Style salad dressing has a fantastic, clean taste that satisfied my French craving and then some. You don’t have to sacrifice great flavor and consistency when you grab an organic dressing, not when you have this one in your pantry. You’ll love the slightly tangy, salty and somewhat spicy flavor on your salad.

A nice pour…

The dressing is creamy, but not overly so. I love creamy dressings, but there’s a limit to just how much creaminess there can be before a dressing is hard to pour. You want a dressing that pours easily and consistently so that your salad is nice and evenly dressed. A salad with a little dressing here, a little more there, and a lot more over there isn’t a good salad. With this dressing you’ll get the consistency you need and want!

Great taste at the right price…

I found Fresh Thyme Organic French Style salad dressing to be delicious. No reason to grab a big-brand non-organic dressing when you can get better flavor in a quality dressing for just a little more money. This is a great dressing at a great price. So grab a few bottles! I did!

California Pizza Kitchen Thai Salad Dressing

No, I did not have to sleep on the sofa. But, there was dissent in our household over this California Pizza Kitchen Thai salad dressing. We both loved the peanut flavor. And the soy sauce adds that nice Asian-inspired component. The dressing is slightly sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. But then came the sesame oil and our opinions became to differ. My wife loved it, thought it was the perfect balance and addition to the dressing. Me, I thought it was a bit too much. When I cook with sesame oil I tend to use less than the recipe calls for. I would’ve used less when making this dressing, too.

Not Just A Salad Dressing

I could see, however, using California Pizza Kitchen Thai Salad Dressing on something other salads. Perhaps as a marinade for grilled chicken. Or as a dipping sauce for pot stickers or, oh yum, egg rolls. It’s not a bad dressing, not at all. My wife absolutely loves it. If you’re into sesame oil, though, you’ll love it too. For my tastes, I’d just tame the sesame oil a bit.
