My grandma would always put lemon juice and sugar on our salads. I don’t think I have had it since she passed, in '82, but I can still remember the taste.
I answered green goddess, and then looked it up and found that “green goddess” and just “goddess” aren’t the same. Goddess is tahini-based and it is my favorite ever. Green goddess sounds disgusting. Wow.
@lifftchi You know, I didn’t even read that far, once I saw how different the ingredients were. I’d mostly looked at some of the recipe results that came up. It seems like tahini’s gotta taste and feel pretty different from a mixture of mayo and sour cream (the idea of which is making my skin crawl) with anchovy paste in it!
A man goes to the doctor with a piece of lettuce hanging out of his ear. “That looks nasty,” says the doctor.
“Nasty?” replies the man, “this is just the tip of the iceberg!”
@justbuyit Now that we’ve perfected iceberg lettuce, we can haul water all over the country.
Honey Mustard?
@vdeogmer Yes, how did this get left off?
I make a mean peanut butter sauce that I pour all ovwe my salad.
If I am not in the mood for peanut butter, I will squeeze a mandarin orange over it.
I cant stand any of the traditional dressings.
No honey mustard? That tends to be my go-to at a restaurant when IDGAF.
Day-to-day I make either a vinaigrette of rice vinegar and sesame oil or a sorta-grette of lemon juice and olive oil.
@brhfl What do you mix with the sesame oil? Sounds tasty!
@luvche21 Usually I just do rice vinegar, sesame oil, and szechuan pepper.
@brhfl ooh, definitely stealing this recipe to try it out!
@conandlibrarian
Oil and vinegar.
@dannybeans My favorite… olive oil and balsamic, or olive oil and apple cider vinegar, or olive oil and lemon juice (grew up with that one).
However I’m not above pouring a quart of ranch on a piece of lettuce and calling it a salad.

Honey dijon balsamic vinaigrette.
Pear Gorgonzola. It’s my favorite. I just had a nice salad with lettuce from the garden. It was delicious. Sorry I didn’t share, but I’m selfish.
Raspberry vinaigrette
Creamy Jalapeno (ranch)

sesame miso dressing
@metageist I came here to add that Japanese creamy sesame dressing. I bet it’s similar to your miso version:
Anyone from Michigan knows ranch is its own food group.
Crispy lettuce (iceberg): Wishbone French
Limp lettuce/spinach: Ranch
Olive Garden All you can Eat: Italian
Woodstock
I prefer my salads go commando.
Best thing to go on top of a salad is a burger, cheese and a bun. It is called a hamburger. It’s the only time lettuce is marginally useful.
@DRBLAW
Olive Garden now bottles their dressing.
Dorothy Lynch dressing is the way to go. Now my wife and my diet disagree with be, but it is the best.
@presbypenguin have you ever read the label? First ingredient is tomato soup. You’re slathering cold spiced tomato soup on your salad.
Thai peanut dressing.
That ginger dressing you can get at Asian restaurants
creamy french dressing or an avocado mashed up with a little salt and mixed all together.
Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette!
bacon.
Dorthy Lynch! So good, but only available in the Midwest I think.

@currawong You probably know this, having looked it up, but the wikipedia page says that Trader Joe’s goddess dressing is a version of green goddess.

@currawong Never heard of it before but it sounds like some kind of fucked up sex act.
