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.

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.

Creamy Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

I make a lot of salad dressings at home. But I admit, I get lazy sometimes and find myself reverting back to the store-bought versions. I’ve vowed to end my purchases of bottled dressings. Well, or at least jazz them up by adding a few fresh ingredients. I’m starting with this incredible creamy poppy seed salad dressing. My wife proclaimed it her instant favorite, which is a great way to start on my homemade dressing journey!

Creamy Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Nice And Smooth

This dressing has the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. And just the right consistency. It does run off your salad and form a lake at the bottom of your plate. Nor does it sit there, stuck to your salad like well.. gum.

Grated onion really adds a lot of flavor to this creamy poppy seed salad dressing. Use a fine grater, such as a microplane, to get the onion as finely grated as you can. You can also mince the onion then, using the flat side of the knife, squish the onion into a paste.

American Style Creamy Greek Dressing

I was looking for a kinda Greek salad for my side dish the other day. By ‘kinda’ I mean I would make it with as many Greek-ish ingredients I could find in my fridge or pantry. And I wanted a kinda Greek dressing to go with it. So I made this American style creamy Greek dressing. Like my salad, it’s Greek-ish. You have your obligatory cucumber and feta. Good stuff. A few seasonings. Nice. And mayonnaise. Not sure how Greek that is (probably not at all), but it made for a good, cool cream dressing that hit the spot!

Fridge Time

You can actually enjoy this American style creamy Greek dressing right after you mix it. I like to put it into the fridge for a few hours or overnight first. The first time I serve it I always give it a stir and taste to see if it needs more salt. For me, this dressing needed a bit more than the recipe called for. I recommend tasting it to see if you feel the same way.

Smoooooooth

Feta isn’t a smooth-gettin’ cheese. You’re gonna have to have it spend some quality time in the food processor before you get it sorta creamy. Be patient. Or leave it a bit crumbly. It is feta after all.

Everything Bagel Salad Dressing

My wife announced that she was going to make this Everything Bagel seasoning salad dressing again. That was after the very first taste. She loved the creaminess. And the slight tang of vinegar. That’s unusual since she’s usually not a fan of vinegar. This dressing has just the right mount of vinegar for her tastes. And oh, the bagel seasoning! That combination of garlic, onion and sesame seeds is amazing in a dressing and fantastic on a green salad. I agree, this is one winner of a dressing.

Everything Bagel Salad Dressing

A Wonderfully Tasty Dressing

This Everything Bagel salad dressing is a nice, creamy dressing with just the right thickness to it. We used ‘real’ mayonnaise and ‘real’ milk when we made it. None of that light or non-fat stuff. But, you could. And it might make it not as creamy. But it’ll still be out-of-this-world delicious so if light or low-fat is what you have on-hand or prefer, go for it!

We highly recommend that you double this recipe. It makes about four servings as it’s written, but I might argue that it’s really just enough for two! It’s that good!
