I'm with Moose. I almost always make my own. I think the bottled dressings taste harsh and bitter. It's so easy to just whisk togather some oil, vinegar and herbs.
Sometimes I get a craving for Good Seasons Italian and God knows what's in that, but I do like it.
DH makes a dynamite caesar dressing, but we only do that on special occasions.
I do like Marie's blue cheese, but I really can't afford the calories, so I don't get it very often.
The funniest one I ever saw, was a cheap bottle of Blue cheese dressing, with the words "Chunky style" on the label. But it was in a squeeze bottle, with a hole in the top too small for any self-respecting 'chunk' to fit through.
I once stopped overnight in a trucker's motel in Syracuse, and ate in the Italian eatery across the street, which was completely devoid of any pretentiousness. I ordered spaghetti and a salad with blue cheese dressing. When the salad arrived, I thought, at first glance, that it had about a dozen bite-sized florets of cauliflower on top. That, it turned out, was the blue cheese!
I don't like any of the bottled salad dressings, especially the fat free ones. They just taste awful.
I mostly make my own vinaigrettes from citrus or vinegar with olive oil, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic, sometimes herbs. Sometimes add honey or a bit of sugar.
I secretly love Ranch Dressing though. Just not the bottled kind. I buy the Hidden Valley packet that you mix with buttermilk and mayo. Has to be buttermilk.
