Chick-fil-A Garden Herb Ranch Salad Dressing

I’m a certified Ranch-o-holic

Nice and creamy, but not too creamy so that it’s ewww gloppy. Perfectly flavored, without being too salty or Ranch-y. It was difficult to resist the temptation to put way too much dressing on my salad. I found that a little restraint was rewarded by great flavor. No need to drown a salad to get good Ranch flavor here!

If I was forced to have a complaint about the Chick-fil-A Garden Herb Ranch salad dressing is that the bottle it comes in is a bit small. Like I said, I’m a Ranch-aholic. Normal people are probably just fine with the 12 ounce bottles. I of course have a solution to my problem, I buy 3-4 of them at a time!

Chick-fil-A Creamy Salsa Salad Dressing

Chick-fil-A recently made their salad dressings available in grocery stores. I’m probably the only one on the planet that hasn’t had their dressings in their restaurants. I grabbed a bottle of each new flavor and got to making some salads. This is my second flavor, the Chick-fil-A Creamy Salsa salad dressing. This is now my favorite dressing. And not just sorta, either. It makes me think of sour cream combined with a little salsa and some lime juice. And a bit of chile powder and cumin, but not too much. It has just a little hint of spiciness. I could drink this stuff out of the bottle. I’d dip veggies into it. Or I’d drizzle it on tacos for sure. I’d freeze it into salad dressing pops. Ok, maybe not that.

Bigger would be better…

If I was forced to have a complaint about the Chick-fil-A Creamy Salsa salad dressing is that the bottle it comes in is a bit small. I really, really like it. A lot.

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 especially 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.

Panera Bread Greek Vinaigrette

Panera Bread Greek Vinaigrette is superb. I could’ve just grabbed a straw and drank it out of the bottle. Even though I was ‘just’ having a small salad, this dressing made it special and then some. Not too vinegary, this dressing is nice and creamy with a slight hint of garlic and plenty of spices that make me think ‘Mediterranean’. I really hated the moment my salad was gone.

Mediterranean Flavors in every Bite

I’ve read where Panera Bread Greek Vinaigrette is often used as a marinade. I could see that it would be fantastic on chicken. A few hours in a ‘dressing bath’ then onto the grill, chicken breasts would be delicious. But, that’s not what I first thought of when I tasted it. I thought: submarine sandwich. Yep. That’s right. Vinegar and oil or even cream Italian dressings often end up on subs. This dressing would be phenomenal on a sandwich. That’s exactly where my next bottle is going.

Frederik’s by Meijer Peppercorn Bacon Ranch Salad Dressing

We’re continuing our journey enjoying the various bottled salad dressings we find at our local grocery stores or online. Though we make our own dressings, it’s nice to try the pre-made versions sometimes. And usually it’s easier! Today’s dressing is from Meijer. Sold under the name Frederik’s by Meijer, the peppercorn bacon Ranch salad dressing is a thicker sauce. The peppercorn and bacon flavors are subtle, but noticeable.

Nice and thick…

I’d call Frederik’s by Meijer Peppercorn Bacon Ranch salad dressing a heavy duty dressing. It’s not going to run off your salad no matter how high you stack the ingredients. I’d say it’s closer to mayonnaise-thickness. It’s got a little sweetness to it, almost buttermilk-like. If you’re getting the dressing out of the fridge, let it set at room temperature for 10 or so minutes before serving then give it a good shake or stir. It’ll be a bit easier to pour when it’s a bit warmer (but not warm!).

Not just for salads…

Given that it’s thick and well-flavored, this dressing also makes for a fantastic dip for vegetables. Carrots, celery sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, you name it, would all be great after a dip in this sauce!

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.

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!

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 amount 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.

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!

Briannas Home Style Creamy Balsamic Salad Dressing

I continue to be impressed with the dressings from Briannas. Every bottle has been an adventure in different tastes, all wonderful. For tonight’s salad I went with Briannas Home Style Creamy Balsamic Salad Dressing salad dressing, and oh how happy was I!

Everything I love in a dressing!

Slightly sweet and not overly-vinegary, this is a dressing I could enjoy again and again. With just a hint of garlic and Dijon, it’s a well-balanced dressing with the perfect consistency for drizzling on a salad.

Briannas Home Style Creamy Balsamic Salad Dressing is fantastic on a salad. I could see using it as a marinade for chicken, too. Or maybe brushing it on grilled shrimp or even salmon. It’s just an all-around great dressing, just like the others I’ve had from Briannas.

Forget self-control!

I have to control myself around great dressings like this one. I have to pour out a serving into small dressing cups. It’s not safe for me to have a full bottle of dressing on the table, not when I could just pick it up and drink it. So, lacking whatever it is that would stop me from using too much dressing, I have to rely on the little cups to control me.
