American Style Salad Dressing

It can be surprising sometimes how what might seem odd tasting actually ends up being delicious. This American style salad dressing is quite reminiscent of a sauce we make and use on our hamburgers. It’s crazy close to it in fact. So you might think (like we did) that no way would it ever be good on a salad. Well, it is. This dressing is creamy. Tangy. And a little complex. And yeah, it’s good on burgers too so make extra!

American Style Salad Dressing

Go Light

You can use light ingredients in this American style salad dressing. The mayonnaise and sour cream can be light. Or you can go big and use top-shelf mayonnaise (for me that’s Blue Plate) and full-fat sour cream. Good ole prepared mustard (the cheap stuff) is great. So is fru-fru Dijon. The expensive stuff. Even generic Worcestershire sauce will still make for a great dressing. This can be whatever and however you like it.

Oh and it’s also great on hot dogs!

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!

American Style Creamy Greek Dressing

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.

Copycat Longhorn Ranch Salad Dressing

Nice-and-easy and tasty. That pretty much sums up this copycat Longhorn Ranch salad dressing. Nothing complicated going on here. Just a few simple ingredients. A few minutes of putting it all together. And in the end, a nicely tasty creamy dressing that was perfect for my evening’s salad.

Copycat Longhorn Ranch Salad Dressing

Go Fresh… Ish

You can kinda take one of two different routes when you make this copycat Longhorn Ranch salad dressing. You can opt for fresher ingredients. Fresh parsley, dill and chives. You’ll get a nice, bright fresh dressing. Or you can go for the dried herbs and get a just-as-tasty dressing that’s a little easier and uses ingredients you might already have on-hand. Either way, this is a good dressing.

Oh and yes, it’s great for dipping wings too!

Copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour Coleslaw

Do you make ‘the face’ when you taste horseradish? You know the one. The one where your mouth puckers up and your face gets all scrunched in. Well, if you do you’re going to make it big time with this copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour coleslaw. That’s assuming you make it ‘full power’, with the two tablespoons of prepared horseradish in the recipe. No one, and I do mean NO ONE, is going to feel any different about you if you use less. This is a great creamy slaw. With all of the horseradish it has a very sharp taste, but that fades away to creamy sweetness. It’s a different experience, and a really great change from the usual just creamy and sweet coleslaw.

Copycat Famous Dave's Creamy Sweet and Sour Coleslaw

The Perfect Sandwich Topper

I found this copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour coleslaw to be pretty good on its own. But I liked it much more on top of a pulled pork sandwich. The sinus-clearing hit of horseradish contrasted perfectly with the BBQ sauce I used on my sandwich. And the sweetness of the slaw tamed some of the heat in the sauce, too. It doesn’t have to be a BBQ sandwich either. You can put this slaw on a cold cut sub. Or a chicken sandwich. Anywhere you want a good, in-your-face hit of horseradish, this is the slaw for you.

Hawaiian Coleslaw

This Hawaiian coleslaw made me think I was enjoying a nice lunch on a tropical beach. I loved the sweetness from the pineapple. The ‘pop’ of citrus from the mandarin oranges. And then there’s my favorite, maraschino cherries. Ok, maybe those aren’t so much tropical but they’re good! All in an easy-to-make creamy slaw (just make sure you dry the pineapple, oranges and cherries well!) that disappears in no time. This is one of my favorite coleslaws!

Hawaiian Coleslaw

Take The Time

It’s important that you get the fruits dried well before adding them into this Hawaiian coleslaw. You don’t want a soggy, runny slaw. You want it creamy. Not soupy. And you definitely don’t want the cherries to ‘run’ into the slaw. That might taste great, but it’s not going to ‘wow’ anyone at first glance. So take the extra few minutes and dry them well. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts!

You want the pineapples, oranges and cherries well-drained before adding them to the coleslaw mix. You don’t want the extra liquid in the salad, and you definitely don’t want the cherries to discolor it.

Diner-Style Coleslaw

I do love a cold, creamy coleslaw. Nothing fancy. And maybe a little vinegary kick. But not much. This diner-style coleslaw is my kind of slaw. Perfect on a hot day, for lunch or dinner. Perfect on a cool day too. And crazy easy to make. This slaw reminds me of the ones you’d find in the glass cases in the diners of old. The ones with the sliding doors. Made early that morning, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled to perfection!

Diner-Style Coleslaw

Nice And Creamy

I use Blue Plate mayonnaise in all of my slaws. For me, it’s the best-tasting, creamiest mayonnaise around. You can use your favorite. Even though this diner-style coleslaw isn’t complicated, better ingredients make for a better slaw.

I didn’t have white balsamic vinegar on hand. I knew I didn’t want to use regular ole balsamic vinegar. Though it’d add the same flavor, it’d discolor the slaw. That wouldn’t be good. I used apple cider vinegar instead and the slaw come out fantastic. Problem solved!

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Brother Jimmy’s BBQ: More than 100 Recipes is packed full of great recipes. From BBQ to tailgating to… salad dressing! I picked up a copy because because it just so happened that I was making wings for lunch and I needed something (other than bottled Ranch dressing) for dipping. This blue cheese salad dressing was it. And this will be it from now on, because this is the easiest, best blue cheese dressing you can make. Not only great for wings, it’s great on salads or for dipping veggies. Anything.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

Easy. And Great. And Lightly Funky.

It is blue cheese salad dressing so it’s got blue cheese in it! And that of course means blue cheese flavor. And funk. But not too much funk. This is recipe is spot-on perfect in the funkiness category.

There are so many great cookbooks, and so little time. Our local library has online checkout of literally thousands of cookbooks. That’s great and…. sorta not great! Easy access to tons and tons of cookbooks means I read them for hours and hours on end. I end up bookmarking recipe after recipe. And then my stomach starts to growl. So then I end up making recipe after recipe. And the cycle continues! Day after day!

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.
