Well, it looks like I might start posting everyday now! I really do love to write on my blog, but I cannot write a long post everyday. Somedays I will just pop in and share a picture, some food, or a random thought that pops into my mine. Hehe…Please bear with me… I am out of town (again!), so I don’t know if I will start the everyday postings until I get back, but for now I will share with you my favorite salad dressing I have been using lately.

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
What is your favorite salad dressing?
I am usually just an oil and vinegar lady. Give me some for my salad, and I will be fine! Except yesterday I ordered a salad from Subway, and they forgot to put the dressing on my salad! Dry salad? Gross! Later, I found some mustard and drizzled that on it…
I am usually an oil and vinegar type of gal too, but every once in a while I’ll want to spice things up a little. This salad dressing sounds delicious and simple! I love it!
Usually I just want plain mustard on my salad (I’m odd I know), but that looks delicious, and would be a nice change
Yay, I love your posts, so I’m glad that I’ll get to see extra posts from you in my google reader xo
I love just oil and vinegar on my salads, sometimes just vinegar! But I like any dressing that is relatively light and flavorful- nothing super thick or creamy, it takes away the flavor of good fresh veggies!
I like to drizzle tahini, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar on my salads. Sometimes I’ll do dijon mustard as well. I keep it simple so I can enjoy the ingredients in the salad, but dry?! EW!!
OooOOO! I like the idea of tahini!
yum this dressing looks right up my alley, i like the idea of tahini too! sooooo delish!
So many people put sugar in their dijon dressings! I never got it!
My favorite dressings are the creamy variety. I love adding avocado to the blender with spices, vinegar, and some oil and blending it up. They’ll keep in the fridge for a couple of days and have such a unique taste!
Oh yes! Avocado makes the perfect creamer in salad dressings…who needs ranch made with hydrogenated oils?
I love mustard as a base for dressing. It gives it such a tangy flavor that compliments olive oil and honey extremely well
.
sometimes the only reason i eat salad is to get more mustard in my mouth!
i’ve been mixing mustard w/ salsa, mustard w/ horseradish, mustard w/ mustard
you get the drift!
I love making my own dressings! My grandma also has her own recipe using dijon. So great!
I love making my own dressings! And usually they involve Vegenaise
but lots of times citrus juices + oil + seasonings.
I make a dressing like that ALL the time! Its so delicious! I love pairing it with beets, feta, and pears!
I usually just put an herb or spice blend all over my salad…perhaps with some nutritional yeast, hummus, or cottage sheese as well. I use weird things like relish and salsa for dressings, too.
I actually love salsa+hummus as my salads, haha!
Dijon is always perfect in a dressing!
This looks just like the recipe I make all the time! I don’t measure anything though; I just toss in whatever amount to taste. It’s a good one!
I am eating basil galore right now and I love a vinaigrette with basil and lemon! (http://resistantnikki.blogspot.com/2011/07/lemon-garlic-basil-vinaigrette.html) I’m also a fan of pesto on my salad sometimes.
That salad with the quinoa looks delicious!
LOVE basil! I have a huge basil plant at home! Your dressing looks great-will have to try!
Love your recipes! I like Balsamic Vinegar, but I thought it had sugar in it, so I stopped using it. Is fruit sugar okay during this challenge?
Suzy,
Good quality balsamics do not contain added sugar-yay! Please refer back to the Challenge Homepage post, there is a “FAQ” section on that page that answers your question on fruit.
