It’s ‘put-an-obscene-amount-of-dressing-on-your-salad’ day! I’m going to celebrate with this thick and creamy blue cheese salad dressing. I’ll try to control myself but I know I won’t. This dressing is right up my alley. The right consistency. The right blue cheese ‘funk’. Creamy. Oh yes, I’m going to use too much. I knew that when I made it. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy things!

Save The Light Stuff For Later

This thick and creamy blue cheese salad dressing isn’t light. It’s not lo-cal. It doesn’t even pretend to be. It’s supposed to be in-your-face bold and decadent. And it is. Hey, sometimes I want my dinner salad to be an event. Something memorable. And something that satisfies. Well this dressing is a great way to accomplish all of those things.

This stuff is great for dipping Buffalo wings. Big time great.

Tangy Coleslaw

This tangy coleslaw screams ‘fresh’. It’s full of all sorts of great fresh things. Corn. Bell pepper. Onion. Cabbage. The dressing is a slightly sweet, tangy mix that really accentuates the freshness in every bite. Best made with fresh corn, this slaw can be made with canned or frozen, too.

Coleslaw with a Kick

This tangy coleslaw does contain a little bit of jalapeno. Not that much that you’ll find it hot. But, if that scares you, you can leave it out or substitute a poblano pepper instead. I found that the sweetness in the dressing tamed the jalapeno to the point where I didn’t find it to be spicy, just enjoyable/

If you decide to use canned corn, just drain well. For frozen, just thaw. You can roast them by spreading the kernels out onto a sheet pan and placing under the broiler, stirring often, until lightly charred.

Sesame Salad Dressing

My wife quickly declared this sesame salad dressing as one of her all-time favorite salad dressings. She loved the light hint of sesame oil and soy sauce, with just a touch of sweetness. A hint of vinegar. And creamy mayonnaise. They hit all the right notes for her. It’s not a thick sauce, not at all. It’s just slightly thicker than say, Italian dressing. And it’s perfect on a garden salad.

Sesame Salad Dressing

Don’t Rush

Although you can try and rush this sesame salad dressing, don’t. Resist the temptation to do that. Let it rest at least 30 minutes before serving. At least. And if you can, let it sit overnight so that the flavors get happier. As I note in the recipe, you might want to adjust the amount of sesame oil. Although my wife and I both are fans of sesame oil, we find that a little goes a long ways. We felt that one tablespoon was perfect for us. So, we recommend that you start with a little, taste, and add more if desired. You can always add more after it has set a while, too. You just can’t take it back out so use it sparingly if you’re like us and are a little sesame oil-shy.

Russian Salad Dressing

We both grew up with a different looking bottled Russian dressing. We made this recipe for Russian salad dressing and of course, it looked different. It tasted fantastic, like Thousand Island salad with the addition of chili sauce and some spices (and a bit of heat). That bottled stuff that’s red and looks more like French or Catalina dressing? Almost the same thing, but without the creamy mayonnaise.

Russian Salad Dressing

I Could Go For A Reuben Sandwich

This Russian salad dressing is fantastic on a fresh green salad. But oh, would it ever be amazing on a Reuben sandwich. Sure, you could go with the classic Thousand Island, but why not kick that sandwich up a bit and use this instead? And don’t be shy with it either!

Start Out with Less Onion

Depending on how you feel about onion flavor, I’d say start with a smaller shallot. Some shallots are hotter than others and if you go all-in with a bigger shallot it might overwhelm all of the other flavors in the dressing. So go easy with it at first. You can always add more.

When a recipe like this one calls for mayonnaise, there’s only one that I reach for. Yep, there’s a number of great mayonnaise brands out there. I’ve tried them all I think. But in the end, I go with Blue Plate mayonnaise each and every time.

Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette

One of my favorite things is roasted red peppers. I find myself using them in a lot of different recipes. I was happy to find this recipe for roasted red pepper vinaigrette. Of course, the roasted red pepper flavor is delicious. But the vinegar gives it a little bite. The honey balances it all out. Sometimes we will have salad week for dinner and we will change up the salads and make a couple of dressings for the week. This dressing has become one of our favorites!

Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette

Simple. Yet Delicious.

Roasted red pepper vinaigrette is easy to make and you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry. I used jarred roasted red peppers instead of roasting my own, but either will work. The nice thing about the jarred ones is that if you end up with any leftovers they do freeze well for uses in recipes like this dressing.

We like this dressing to be smooth. But you can adjust the consistency a bit by not running the food processor as long. Or run it longer. You might want to check it after a few seconds to see if it’s where you want it to be.

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 such a 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, especially 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!

Roasted Garlic Dijon Salad Dressing

I would not call myself a mustard-aholic. It seems to depend on the day as to whether or not I’m all-in on a mustardy dressing or not. Fortunately, though, this roasted garlic Dijon salad dressing didn’t require that I be in the mood for mustard. It has just the right amount of mustard-ness. It’s slightly sweet with a hint of roasted garlic, one of my favorite flavors. And a little citrus to boot. It’s got everything, all in an easy-to-make dressing.

Roasted Garlic Dijon Salad Dressing

More Garlic is More Better

I’m quite the garlic fan, so I will double the amount in this recipe the next time I make it. I’m ok with it being up front in my roasted garlic Dijon salad dressing instead of just kind of hanging around with the other flavors.

No Need For Fancy Dijon

I used our local grocery store’s Dijon mustard. Nothing fancy. You can go fancy if you want, but I don’t think it’ll make a big difference as long as you’re using a mustard that you like to use in other recipes. It’s like cooking with wine. You don’t cook with a wine you don’t like. Don’t make a dressing with a mustard you don’t like either!

Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

This rich and creamy blue cheese dressing is dangerous. It’s a bit too good. Too creamy. Too blue cheesy. Too rich. I had to really exercise self-control when I made a salad and this dressing. I could’ve easily ended up embarrassing myself. Self-control was difficult. I love this dressing. I can’t wait to make it again.

Rich and Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

Give It A Rest

This rich and creamy blue cheese dressing gets better with time. It’s hard not to eat it as soon as you make it, but you gotta let it rest. Make it, cover it, and put it in the fridge and try not to think about it. Don’t go peeking at it. Don’t go ‘test tasting’ it. Just let it be. I found that going on a long walk helps. Something to get my mind off of the goodness that awaits.

This dressing is fantastic for dipping wings, too!

Next time I’m doubling the recipe. To keep myself from using it all at once, I serve it in these little cups.

Quick Fix Franch Salad Dressing

Franch dressing is proof that sometimes easy is truly best. I could’ve made some French dressing from scratch. And I could’ve made some Ranch dressing from scratch. But hey, it was a busy weeknight and I wanted something a little different. So out came the bottled dressings. A little stirring and boom, done. And what a delicious combination the two make! Quick fix Franch dressing is way better than just French and just Ranch dressings. The two are better together.

Quick Fix Franch Salad Dressing

The Perfect Flavor Combination

I used a creamy French dressing and a buttermilk Ranch dressing when I made quick fix Franch dressing. You could also use a sweet French dressing, but to offset the sweetness you might want to then use a spicy Ranch or even a Buffalo Ranch dressing. Play with it. There’s no wrong answer here. You can’t make a bad dressing when you start with two great ones.

Quick Fix BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

A lot of the signature sauces you get at restaurants start with simple, off-the-shelf ingredients. A restaurant near us starts with a bottled BBQ sauce and Ranch, just like with this quick fix BBQ Ranch dressing. They then add a few other ingredients (such as crumbled cooked bacon) to make it different for different dishes. One version is for dipping onion rings. Another is perfect for dunking chicken wings. They also have a spicy version of their house Ranch salad dressing for well, you guessed it, salads.

Quick Fix BBQ Ranch Salad Dressing

Great On Fries, Burgers And Wings!

This quick fix BBQ Ranch dressing isn’t just for salads. That’s for sure. I squirted it on a big plate of French fries. Then I dipped grilled chicken wings in it. I slathered it on hot-off-the-grill hamburgers. Heck, it’s great on wraps too!

Just make sure you start with good, quality BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing. And don’t hesitate to use a spicy BBQ sauce, or one with a bit of smoky flavor to it.

This dressing will last a while in the fridge, if there happens to be any leftover. Just make sure to give it a good shake or stir before serving.
