Miracle Whip is a condiment, not a dressing, lardass.

I eat my salad dry :/

>>11705616
You could at least throw some lemon juice on it or something

>>11705419
Cider vinegar and a dash of olive oil, Black pepper. Some sel fou or plain salt to top that shit up.

Olive oil/vinegar maybe some grainy mustard thrown in there

Ranch dressing, Italian

>>11705419
I just make a simple vinaigrette myself
>Hazelnut oil
>Strong dijon
>Salt
>Pepper
>Apple cider vinegar

I really like toasted sesame oil and rice vinegar. Worst is anything overapplied, which seems to be half of all salads. Ranch is usually pretty gross, but I'm sure good ranch dressing exists.

>>11705419
Never liked that creamy shit. Oil and vinegar based ones only.

You just eat dry lettuce?

Poppy seed is my favourite. Raspberry vinaigrette is my least favourite.

Honey, mustard, balsamico, dill.

>dry lettuce?
it's not as if you're eating paper anon
but, yea
on some rare occasions i might give it a squeeze of lemon and possibly even a dash of olive oil, but really hardly ever

it's moist enough. unless it's trippple washed, i rinse it so it stays somewhat wet.
then i add some shredded carrot, maybe some sprouts or other greens like a little bit of kale or spinach, may7be some blanched/chilled peas or corn, sometimes some kidney beans or garbonzos, maybe a few nuts and possibly some sesame seeds and definitely an avocado if i have one around
sorry anon

>Not liking ranch dressing
How the fuck is this even possible? Is this just contrarian bullshit or do you anons genuinely have a bad reaction to the taste? The only potentially negative factor I can think of for ranch is how it's ridiculously popular and some people don't like popularity because they associate it with lowbrow / pleb taste. Not only is it the most popular dressing but it even gets used way more often than blue cheese dressing for buffalo chicken dip, which is crazy since that's the fundamental purpose of blue cheese dressing's existence. It's such a non-offensive and pleasant flavor. It's like a rich, sweet milk, sour cream, and egg jamboree in your mouth, and I don't think I've ever encountered an upper limit for saying "oops, I added too much." It's a strong contender for the flavor you'd present to aliens as the most extreme apex of food based pleasure available with modern human technology and Earth resources.
>inb4 accusations of being fat, I'm just barely above the upper end of underweight although that wouldn't be relevant to this point even if I were since we're talking about which dressing is best, not which dressing has the least calories

I honestly didn't know most people buy dressing instead of making it until I saw this thread. Never heard of ranch since I'm not american. Are you people that lazy?

Poppyseed
Balsamic

>>11705423
aren’t those basically the same thing?

>>11708081
So basic

>>11708009
>I honestly didn't know most people buy dressing instead of making it
Why would you bother making your own condiment?
>Are you people that lazy?
Are central air conditioning systems or elevators lazy? I tend to think of them more as modern amenities characteristic of developed nations that have already made it past the industrial revolution phase of economic history.

>>11708097
>Why would you bother making your own condiment?
It takes 2 second to make it, why do people buy it??

>>11708097
I just looked up the ingredients of ranch and it has a bunch of E numbers in it. Why not make it yourself? It would taste better, be healthier and possibly be cheaper

>>11705419
>Favorite
1. Green Goddess dressing (fresh made)
2. Olive oil, balsamic vinegar + garlic salt+pepper

>Least Favorite
Anything sweet.
French dressing.

>>11707795
um. yea.
hey anon, we like diferent stuff

>>11707956
Imagine being so upset that other people might dislike ranch dressing that you spend 5 minutes on a tirade and then go on to describe ranch ingredients

>>11708094
No zingy zang in my salad. Disgusting
Creamy poppyseed, mmmm
Now i wants salad

>dingle dangle

>>11705419
Olive oil and vinegar.

Try it. Crisp, clean, not too much of a calorie bomb.

>>11707956
Ranch is pretty gross dude. I mean most bottled dressings are gross, but ranch is one of the worst.

>>11708100
>It takes 2 second to make it, why do people buy it??
Why would you want to buy a bunch of separate ingredients and mix them together yourself instead of just buying an already complete dressing bottle like a normal person? Also:

>I honestly didn't know most people buy dressing instead of making it until I saw this thread. Never heard of ranch since I'm not american. Are you people that lazy?
What country are you from where they don't have grocery stores?

>>11705423
wanna know how I know you're an american?

>>11708120
>I just looked up the ingredients of ranch and it has a bunch of E numbers in it.
Like most every other commonly consumed food or condiment in existence? Shocking.
>Why not make it yourself?
Because I'm not some obsessed health fanatic who feels the need to reinvent basic food products over vague concerns about food additives.

I haven't found a dressing I really dislike, but I hate how you basically ruin the point of a salad by loading it with dressing.

>>11705419

I love Caesar Dressing.

Not a fan of Thousand Island.

Can't do Soybean Oil so i've been making my own dressing

Honey Mustard

1/2 C Dijon Mustard
3 – 4 TBLSPN Honey
1/4 C Olive Oil
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Put in jar with lid and shake the shit out of it.

I instantly had to imagine you as a morbidly obese pants shitter dousing whole extra large every meat pizzas in ranch, shoveling it all down in about 5 minutes and then moving on to your next pizza and next bottle of ranch because you probably go through like 3 a day

>>11711904
thousand island is the only good one come on
it makes burgers better

>>11705419
I suck down a bottle of thousand island every morning. By the time the day is over I go out to the store and get another bottle for the next morning. I wake up and reach over to the nightstand for the thousand island and just suck it all down.

Holy shit what a cuck

I'll give y'all my recipe for Dijon Vinaigrette, it keeps well in the fridge and takes a minute to make.
>1/2 cup of Olive Oil
>4 tablespoons of Champagne Vinegar
>2 tablespoons of seeded dijon mustard (I used grey poupon country style)
>1 squeeze of lemon wedge
>1teaspoon of fresh ground pepper
>1teaspoon of salt
>1/2 teaspoon of paprika
Mix it all up, store it in the fridge.

If you want to get fancy you can add minced shallots and dried oregano. But this greatly reduces the shelf-life of the dressing.

I also eat salad without dressing. It's not as dry as you think, especially if your salad includes vegetables with high water content like tomatoes or cucumbers.

Growing up in the midwest Ranch is like the king of all dressings here so it's obviously my favorite but my least favorite has to be Italian but i end up making my ranch into a somewhat caeser by adding Garlic, and freshly grated Parmegiano-regiano to it

>>11720308
hey big boi

I like to dip my veggies and not soak them in dressing making what amounts to salad soup.
