skittles Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hi, I posted a receipe for ranch dressing in the receipe section. It is pretty good!!! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moggle Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I usually just go for some salt, a drizzle of olive oil and a drizzle of good quality balsamic vinegar. I want to try making some flavoured oils (basil? etc) soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cici Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'd love something easy to find and store bought. My life is crazy busy and any steps I can simply are great. Cici Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code14j Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This dressing is a little work initially but you can make a huge batch in the same way and it keeps for weeks at room temp. It is also beyond delicious. My favorite salad is spinach or romaine with avocados and chopped parsley or chives with a lot of this dressing on top. It's also good on veggies, chicken, fish, everything. Finely chop a shallot and put it in a bowl. Cover with a couple tablespoons on vinegar of your choice. Set aside. In a mortar and pestle or on a cutting board with a big knife, mash and mince and pulverize 1 anchovy filet with a garlic clove until it's a fine paste. Add to the shallots and vinegar and whisk together. Add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard and whisk. While whisking, start pouring in several tablespoons of olive oil in a thin stream. Taste frequently and stop when it's how you like. When adding to a salad, sprinkle some sea salt and cracked pepper to the salad, not to your batch of dressing. Store in a jar and just give it a good shake before using. Seriously, it's soooo good. Try it at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I've tried the Tessemae Ranch and thought it was good (more of an olive oil and vineger taste though!), but if you want more of a true ranch dressing, try the ranch dressing in Well Fed (made with light olive oil mayo). Easy to make and delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I usually just thin out mayo with either lime or lemon juice for salads, sometimes I spice up the mayo with whatever I have on hand.. like smoked paprika.. which is yummy with chicken salad.

Paichka Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 One of my favorite dressings is just to throw a packet of Wholly Guacamole onto a salad and top with a little compliant salsa. Instant taco salad, and no messing up any mixing cups. Right now, I have the Pantry Vinaigrette from WF2 (shallot, homemade ketchup, olive oil, spices) and the Ranch Dressing (mayo, cream from the top of a can of coconut milk, chives, parsley, garlic, onion powder) from Nom Nom Paleo in my fridge -- I alternate between those two on my veggies and salads.

spacy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The dressing from this ceasar resipe is one of my favorites: http://www.theppk.com/2013/11/quinoa-caesar-salad/ Obviously, the breaded tofu and quinoa are out-of-bounds, but I've kept the dressing in the rotation because it's so tasty, and as far as I can tell, compliant. I used to hate making salad dressing until I started using tahini. Some crushed garlic, olive oil, balsamic, salt/pepper/herbs/spices to taste, with a little or a lot of tahini as you like. Shake vigorously in a jar until combined, no special equipment required. The tahini acts as an emulsifier and makes the dressing a bit creamy as well.

Kat4Wake Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 For an exotic dressing, try the Zingy Ginger Dressing from Well Fed 2 or Southwest Cumin Lime Dressing. They are both really good. http://www.theclothesmakethegirl.com/2011/02/24/southwestern-cumin-lime-dres ing/ Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsteacher Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I got stuck without a compliant dressing yesterday, and just drizzled on a bit of olive oil, some salt and pepper, and it was surprisingly delicious. I actually had seconds it was so good. At home, I do a red wine/olive oil vinaigrette. Some of these sound so good. I have an egg allergy, so can't do the paleo mayo, and my attempts at vegan mayo have been dismal failures. I like the look of the recipe that has the mustard added to the vinaigrette, and will try that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoraKathleen Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Was just going to post my go-to vinagarette, the recipe listed above nails it!! Any basic vinagarette is three parts oil to one part vinegar ( or a little more if you love vinegar like me! ) From there, fresh garlic, or garlic powder if you are in a hurry. I also like to add a little red onion, and salt and pepper! Now, here's the best part... If you add a teaspoon of a compliant Dijon mustard, give it a quick blast with the immersion blender, and wham- a creamy dressing that will never separate! Yum, I make enough for the week, and store it in the fridge in a mason jar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily_Knight Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I really love this avocado dressing: http://www.familylifeinlv.com/2014/01/creamy-avocado-salad-dressing-4-ingredient-paleo-dressing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Food Y'all Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 My favorite dressing (so far) is EVOO, balsamic AND apple cider vinegar, a bit of ground mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. So good I have literally drunk the remains out of the bowl after finishing my salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I like going the mayo/vinegar/seasonings route or I just mix up a vinegarette with EVOO/vinegar/spices. I've also found that if you mix up a vinegarette, add a little dry mustard, and hit it with an emulsion blender you get a thick, creamy mixture. I'm trying to find a blend that tastes like ranch.

CGinDC Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 My go-to salad dressing - even before W30 days - is olive oil, lemon juice, (compliant) dijon or whole grain mustard, garlic (or garlic powder if you're feeling lazy), salt, and pepper. Sorry I don't have measurements - I usually just eyeball it. Been making this for years and I love it. If you want it creamy you can just add a little homemade mayo. Delicious!

carrieverde Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this yet, but my favorite salad dressing is to take a couple teaspoons of homemade olive oil mayo and mix it with a little balsamic vinegar. The result is sort of a creamy vinaigrette. I have also tried it with a ginger infused white balsamic that's also super awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
