What's your favorite salad dressing?

[NYCgrrl]

I prefer a wedge of lemon as dressing but the man generally liked it gloppy and directly out of a bottle. I think his favorite was French yet an entire fridge shelf held his just in cases: Italian, Russian, and on and on.

I had to google because I was confused by this. I always thought Roquefort and "blue cheese" were the same thing, but apparently Roquefort is blue cheese that is specific to a region in France and made a certain way of Sheep's milk.

That said, while it's not my favorite, I do like Roquefort - but I don't have a discerning enough palate to know anything about it! I voted Balsamic vinaigrette, but if a more specific Jalapeno Ranch had been there, I might have voted for it. Turns out salad dressings are kind of hard to quantify!

I discovered their relationship today myself. But Roquefort has a bit more of a bite. And it is $1.50 more than the same brand of Blue Cheese for the same size.

My mother is a Ken's Salad Dressing fan and that's the only salad dressing we buy and my mother adores the many flavors Ken's Salad Dressing has. We used to buy Wishbone Salad Dressing but it started getting watery and my mother switched to Ken's Salad Dressing and has loved it ever since

Bought some Roquefort dressing this week as a treat. As a kid, I knew we were at a fancy restaurant is they had Roquefort dressing. What's your favorite salad dressing?

curious how you managed to find any-roquefort cheese has been illegal in the u.s. since the FDA banned it several years back. I remember having roquefort dressing back in the day and it definitely had a much richer taste than blue cheese. as kids it was an indicator that mom and dad had taken us to 'a VERY nice place for dinner'.

speaking of blue cheese-vidalia onion dressing fans, have you ever tried it on a salad with blue cheese crumbles??? the flavors together are phenominal

favorite dressing???? the one I can't get unless we go to 'old spaghetti factory'-their creamy pesto is my favorite. when I was pregnant I craved it so much that dh would make weekly stops to snag me a couple of pints and some rural roadside veggie stand tomatos.........yum.

Blue cheese dressing.

I remember when I was a kid (1960s and 70s) some restaurants would charge extra for blue cheese dressing. Maybe 15c or 25c. It even said such right on the menus.

Those were the kinds of places that still had menus stuck in the 1940s.

My wife hates liver. My wife loves Braunschweiger. When I pointed out that Braunschweiger is liver......she said, "it's too good to be liver"

I totally understand that! I'm the same.

Ken's Honey Balsamic is my favorite for salads but family prefers Ken's Greek. Special use, we totally love the Blue Cheese for dipping steak off the BBQ & Ken's Northern Italian Lite in the summer for summer pasta and veggie salads like tortellini salad.

Bleu Cheese is my go-to!

Lemon juice

Like others, it depends on the salad and the mood at the time. I like a sweet and sour poppyseed, balsamic vinaigrette or the occasional bleu cheese as well. Sometimes, I just like crumbled bleu cheese with a vinaigrette.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I can go with most any kind.

Depends on the type of salad like many others have said and what I happen to have a taste for. I like several different ones. It is bit like asking what flavor of ice cream since I don't always have a taste for the same thing. Roquefort is a type of blue cheese, so I am not sure of the difference. No idea about it being banned but I know there are restrictions relating to using raw (i.e. unpasteurized) milk and perhaps has something to do with that. Some TV show the other day about cheese making was talking about the number of days a cheese has to be aged and perhaps that is also part of it.

It is a bit like Caesar's dressing that uses raw eggs. The product you find on grocery shelves is made using pasteurized eggs, so it is shelf stable. In a restaurant, you really have NO idea how they make their own and what exactly they use in it.

I did not know that. And searching, you are correct. But Roquefort Salad dressing is readily available in the chain grocery stores like Safeway, our local chain, Raley's-Bel Air. No idea how they get around that ban.

It's not outright banned, it's on an import notice which means it may take longer at the border while samples are taken of it. The hassle and added cost of that would mean less and less companies would even want to mess with it.
