Biggie Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Oil and red wine vinegar is the GOAT but if I had to pick a store bought salad dressing it would be red raspberry vinaigrette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The biggest different between restaurant meals and home cooking is the amount of salt that chefs use. [They typically use a lot more.] 11 hours ago, unogueen said: The classic fishy cheese salad. Wonder if you're strung up like Mussolini if you order one in Italy. I don't know. I do know it was created by an Italian in Mexico. I also know that putting bacon, croutons and cheese on salad will make your kids much more likely to eat it.

LazyPiranha Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Dressing totally depends on the salad in question. If it’s just a normal, box standard garden salad, I like a nice Italian or sometimes a blue cheese. Give me a wedge salad with Italian dressing and I’ll smack it on the floor in front of you and call your mother to let her know she failed.
