We actually got some creamy caesar dressing, but Husband ended up leaving it out on the counter all day, so we ended up throwing it away. I had some on one of the salads I made before that incident and it was good, just not necessary.<BR/><BR/>I've not tried just a simple dressing like that before. It sounds good! I've also made one that was similar, but with cider vinegar and a little sugar. It was really good! Just, again, not so great on this salad.JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619558024650828203.post-35840186666523019992008-12-18T15:20:00.000-08:002008-12-18T15:20:00.000-08:00Some Trader Joe's salad dressings are pretty good ...Some Trader Joe's salad dressings are pretty good although I definitely think store bought (no matter how good) pales in comparison to home made. They are worlds apart. Most of the time I just go super simple...olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper. If I'm feeling fancy I'll add a bit of dijon mustard (for creaminess) and some finely minced garlic.flanthrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01890655213373016356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619558024650828203.post-39420652125880871992008-12-18T10:44:00.000-08:002008-12-18T10:44:00.000-08:00Yeah, I've just never been a big dressing person. ...Yeah, I've just never been a big dressing person. You know, unless the salad is lame enough to need it. :p Also, I just couldn't think of a dressing that would be good with it. A light vinaigrette, sure, but I didn't want that sour flavor.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I usually just steam a veggie too. This salad was the main course though. ;)JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619558024650828203.post-40876145204828692008-12-18T07:48:00.000-08:002008-12-18T07:48:00.000-08:00no dressing?!?!?that never occurred to me. i'll h...no dressing?!?!?<BR/><BR/>that never occurred to me. i'll have to try it some time. healthier, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>store bought dressing is NEVER as good as something you can just make yourself. of course, i almost never make salad. it just takes up a lot of room and prep work for what seems like a throw away part of my meal. i can steam some broccoli or asparagus much faster.Spectaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444356714104804773noreply@blogger.com
