I tend to use Bleu Cheese the most these days. For a long time it was Ranch. Before that it was Thousand Island. I remember when I used to think Bleu Cheese dressing was gross and it wasn't as popular. Now I adore it.

Went with bleu cheese. It is my go to dressing unless there is a lot of cheese already on the salad, in which case ranch is on standby.

Buttermilk ranch with bacon in it.

If the place has a good Caesar, that's what I order.

I also love the ginger-based dressings at most "Japanese Steakhouses."

Absent that, I'll usually have 1000 Island because it seems to be the "safest" choice at various and sundry restaurants.

My very favorite in recent memory, though, is the Pineapple Ranch dressing at The Cracker Barrel... but, alas, it and the salad it comes on is only available seasonably each year.

Thousand Island, usually.

Sometimes Ranch.

Creamy Garlic followed by Ranch. None of that vinegar/oil/balsamic weirdness here.

If I'm trying to cut calories, I'll cut up a banana on my salad. I've also used Odwalla Green Machine juice as a salad dressing before.

Bleu Cheese. You can use it with salad, french fries, pizza and hamburgers. Pure epicness.

French, I SAID FRENCH!

Went to a " Fancy " for me local resturant ( $75 for the wife and me with no alcohol) and the 12 year old waiter came back with ranch. I sucked it up as the kid just didn't hear, but not the Princess. She politely explained she had asked for FRENCH dressing. Kid said he had never heard of it

. So we blow it off and eat dinner, later junior reports back that he had asked the chef about " French" dressing, and that if we meant " CATALINA" the resturant didn't serve it. Apparently my tastes are too pedestrian for them........

Only downside is it is awful for you. Ranch does not cut it on any of the above, especially wings.

I prefer homemade dressings. My favorite is a garlic and red wine vinegarette.

Garlic clove

Dijon mustard

Salt

Pepper

red wine vinegar

olive oil

sugar

Homemade Caesar is great as well.

Also, if you want the finest steak tip marinade in the history of meat, try this:

1 cup A1 sauce

1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup olive oil

3 tbs sugar

salt and pepper to taste

Wisk until it comes together.

Give em a good 2 day soak. and grill. Tangy and sweet. Delicious.

I didn't mention it before because it's very regional (for all I know, it may not be available outside central AL), but at home I use John's Slaw Dressing a lot as a salad dressing. The B'ham restaurant it originated at is long gone AFAIK, but the dressing is still carried by some grocery stores here. Good stuff... I'm posting this from a deer blind, and y'all are making me hungry!

Bleu cheese or Catalina, depending on my mood. Occasionally a balsamic vinaigrette or honey mustard. I hate ranch with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

Any good restaurant makes its salad dressings from scratch.
Every condiment or dressing I have ever made from scratch has always been significantly better than even the best bottled stuff.

Ever make your own mayonnaise? Good stuff.
