Greek ... Balsamic Vignarette ... authentic Caesar (with anchovies) ... a good Raspberry-Walnut Vignarette (great on spinach salad with sliced strawberries and candied walnuts"
caesar, creamy italian
The Itialian dressing in that do it yourself at home packet. The one that you add vinger and water. Thats the best sweet with some zing

BLUE CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ranch x)
Buttermilk Ranch or French
Favorite is Balsamic Dijon Mustard I make; next would be Green Goddess. Also, love Ancho Chipotle Ranch!
My favorite is the store bought brand - Kraft, Seven Seas Green Goddess. Next, of course would be Ceaser, and then a Vinegar and Oil, and/or a Balsamic and Vinaigrette.
Even tho I love Kraft's, here's a great Green Goddess Salad Dressing recipe one of my friends sent me. I'm not sure where they got it:
Ingredients:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons finely minced onion
3 tablespoons mashed anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 teaspoon chopped capers
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Blend ingredients; cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before using.

Honey Mustard
SPICY GINGER SALAD DRESSING
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1-2 tablespoons fresh ground ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1-2 tablespoons hot chili oil
pinch salt
pinch garlic powder
Combine all and mix before serving.
*****************************
SUPER SALAD DRESSING
1/4 c. light mayonnaise
1/2 c. low-fat plain yogurt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dill weed
2 tsp. dry onion flakes
2 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
Mix all ingredients together and chill.
This is a great "all purpose" sauce. Try it on baked potato instead of sour cream. It also makes a great raw vegetable dip.
Try different flavor vinegars for variety. If you want a thinner dressing add more vinegar - thicker less vinegar. If it's too sharp, add a pinch of sweetener.
Variation: To the mayonnaise and yogurt add 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons pickle juice and 2 small dill pickles diced fine - you now have Thousand Island.
Ceasar salad dressing
Creamy and Original Italian Dressing
Ranch with bacon dressing
homemade dressing
Italian or balsamic vinaigrette, nothing creamy
I haven't really used dressing since I was a teen. I'll eat it straight, or as an adult, I'll use Mrs. Dash. If I were to use dressing, then Thousand Island, Catalina, French, Ranch, or Creamy Cucumber. I'm liable to mix two kinds sometimes when I acutally use dressing!
This is my own recipe, I like it on fresh spinach salad with cherry tomatoes:
anna's Dijon-Pesto Dressing
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed
Pinch sugar
2 Tablespoons good quality pesto
Blend all and allow to stand for about 15 min. Your greens should be good and cold. The sharp/sweet taste goes well with "heavier" greens like fresh spinach or stirfried green asparagus.

bleu cheese if its made properly
