I love salad dressing…period. It doesn’t matter if it’s creamy or a vinaigrette. I just love it. And I like to have a little salad with my dressing. Or to put it another way, I like to have a bowl of really delicious calories! Now, having said that, this is worth every…single…calorie! Continue reading

Years ago, when The Goddess was a mere imp, she found a recipe for pears with bleu cheese, all dressed up with a vinaigrette. It was heavenly. This plays off that delicious memory. Continue reading

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a fling. Yes, The Spicy Honey is aware of my dalliance and he approves. Right now, you’re wondering just what kind of blog post this is, aren’t you? So, my dear gutter-minded-friends, I’m talking about tarragon and mustard! And the ultimate question—is it a sauce? Or is it a vinaigrette? Continue reading

The basic poppy seed dressing recipe has been a part of my repertoire for years. But, The Goddess decided it was time for a change, hence the orange and vanilla. It’s still a little bit sweet and a little bit sharp—it really is the perfect summer dressing. Continue reading

This is similar to The Goddess’s Green Goddess, in that it’s creamy and green! The herbs are entirely different, so the flavor is different. But, delicious? Oh, yeah. This is terrific to dress a potato or pasta salad, smear on a chicken sandwich and it is wonderful on a nice green salad with bacon bits. But, The Goddess loves, loves, loves to dip roasted baby potatoes into this fine elixir…heaven! Pure heaven! Continue reading

Are we tired of Ranch Dressing yet? Come on…you know we all love it. Don’t we? I’ve made Ranch for years, many times using the dry packet and embellishing it with more dill. The Goddess loves her dill. So why not make it from scratch? This is where we’ve ended up…for the moment, anyway. It’s terrific drizzled over a nice piece of salmon, on a baked potato, a shingle or on slices of garden tomatoes. Continue reading

Russian dressing? No. This is really more of a spread or dip. It’s this creamy version that absolutely makes a perfect Reuben sandwich. I love Reuben sandwiches. I think they are my favorite grilled sandwich and largely it’s because of a good, thick schmear of this little bit of heaven. This is pretty decent on a burger and it absolutely makes a roast beef sandwich. Oh, yeah…you can actually dress a salad, with it too! Continue reading

There is a plethora of origin stories for Caesar salad. The most common is probably the one that suggests it originated in Mexico, in the early 1920’s, made by the Cardini brothers. Mexico…Caesar salad…’Why not try using a more Mexican flavor profile?’, The Goddess wondered…it turns out it was a pretty tasty thought to have! Continue reading

This is a beautiful salad. It positively screams “Spring”! It’s green…really green. And it has texture, as well as a velvety quality from the lettuces. The Mustard-Maple Vinaigrette is the perfect dressing for the salad. Continue reading

This is a nice little vinaigrette to have in your fridge. It’s spring-y and wonderful and just perfect to dress the deliciously spring-filled Field of Greens Salad. It’s darn decent drizzled over roasted or grilled asparagus, too. Continue reading
