Who here has ever made their own Salad Dressing?

I don't make a lot of salad dressings from scratch because my other half doesn't eat salad and to make it for just me when Kraft is so crafty, just doesn't make sense. We do however eat a variety of pasta dishes and that's when salad dressings come in really handy. Tonight for example I cooked up some miniature multi colored pasta shells of different shapes. In a fry pan I cut some bacon into one inch strips, fresh cut sweet peppers of various colors, mushrooms, fresh garlic cloves, one inch pieces of fresh asparagus, and ground pepper corns. When the pasta was cooked, I took a quarter cup of balsimic vinegar dressings and a quarter cup of sweet and sour sauce and mixed both into the drained pasta. Then I removed the crispy bacon and veggies from the fry pan and dished out the pasta and put the bacon concoction in a snake pattern over the top of the pasta servings. To die for good with a pinch of salt. I love Kraft. When I want a different taste sensation for hot or cold dishes, I mix and match my premade dressings and go to town. I also burp a lot, but in Greek circles that's considered a compliment to the cook.

Gosh darn it!!! I just started a discussion about salad dressings, I didn't see yours. Anyway, I gave my copycat recipe for Applebee's Chinese Chicken Salad dressing. If you can't find it, I'll be happy to post it in this discussion for you. I've cut the calories but can put them back in for you if you like! The key ingredients are honey and sesame oil.

Most of the time my family likes ranch on a salad, I do buy itallian for noodle salad and such. But we also Make my own from salad dressing, horse raddish mustard, sugar and milk. a little pinch of salt and some pepper. All of the family like it.

No, I have never made my own salad dressing. My two favorites are at restaurants too. One is the kind at McDonald's that is on the Asian salad. Thankfully you can buy it at the store and I do. It is the Newman's Own Lowfat Sesame Ginger. The other kind is yellow and I have no idea what it is but we get it on the salads at our Japanese Restaurant. My husband says it is a ginger-mustard kind of dressing. I don't know, I just love it whatever it is!

I ran out of thousand Island dressing once. I had made myself a corned beef sandwich. And i thought it would taste good with it. So I made my own. A little Miracle whip. Then I added some Heinz ketsup. A small spoonful of pickle relish. Give it a stir. It really wasn't bad at all.

You really happy,Hey ,I come from China,I am glad to know you

I actually do not cook like that. But I have also never tried to make my own salad dressing. But that does sound pretty interesting to make your own type of salad dressing. My favorite dressing is Ranch. Maybe one day I will try to make my own salad dressing or maybe I can ask my mom. You no mothers are always trying out something new.

I don't often make salad dressing myself. I like to buy the ready one. I like to eat cooked vegetables better than raw ones.

i made a salad dressing and i just tried it mayo and catsup and small spice it taste good but thousand island is still better.

I mke my own balsamic dressing. But that's about it. I don't really mess with the creamy ones. I'm too lazy frankly. For your dressing have you tried rice vinegar?? I know what dressing your talking about I love it too. I have never attempted to make it though. I run out and grab some from them..but I do know they use rice vinegar and sugar if that helps at all. :)

I have never attempted to make my own salad dressing. I mean don't get me wrong, I would love to make my own salad dressing. I just think that it would probably turn out terrible. I figure the bottle kind works for now and since I don't know how to make my own dressing the bottle kind is all that I have. I wish I could help you out, but on this one I can't.

i prefer not to see a salad dressing as even leaf vegetables have feelings. However, on the odd occasion that I deign to sample such a thing I believe that one could do much worse than three parts extra Virgin olive oil (which itself is an abomination against virgin olives, plucked before they can be f*cked), 1 part Balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. It is the only one that I do, and it has never failed me yet. That doesn't help much does it. However, I do just love to add my little effort to your postings.

Just a thought but when you have trekked 3.5 hours to buy it why dont you just ask for the recipe :)

thankheavens for grocery stores and really good salad dressings as that one i tried to make was a total diseaster. nope I buy my salad dressings and am grateful for all the choices.
