What's your favorite salad dressing?

Good Seasonings Italian, the one where you buy the packet and mix it with olive oil and water.

If I have to pick one favorite, it's blue cheese/roquefort. However, obviously on a Cesar salad I want Cesar dressing- otherwise, why call it a Cesar salad? I also like Thousand Island (Pink Sauce as the no-longer-Resident 8 year old calls it), and I also like Green Goddess (which we grew up eating in the 70s). I am not a huge fan of Italian dressing, but I use a lot of Ken's low-fat Italian as marinade for chicken.

I do NOT like ranch, in any way, shape, or form. I also try to avoid balsamic, as it makes my tongue very sore and somewhat swollen, although I can eat balsamic if it's been used as a marinade and then the food is cooked. Must be some sort of enzyme in there.

I'm really surprised to see Blue Cheese doing so well. While I picked it as my favorite, I didn't think it was so popular. Most people I know dislike it. I also like Roquefort, but it isn't available very often.

Way back when I was on the old Weight Watchers diet, they recommended using the Good Seasonings Italian and substituting tomato juice for the oil. It made a basically calorie-free dressing and isn't bad.

dressing packets were our go-to when we used our breadmaker allot. throw in a packet of the dry mix along with all the other ingredients and wonderfully seasoned breads were created.

Caesar, but Ken’s Creamy Caesar is my favorite.

From childhood to early adulthood, the only salad dressing I knew was Thousand Island. My grandma used to make a home made version for me when I slept over made of ketchup, some miracle whip and a bit of pickle juice. Later on I made this too but added pickle relish.
Now, I like almost any salad dressing. There are 5 varieties in the refrig right now.
