Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
This dressing improves with time. The flavor is best if you can let it sit for at least an hour before serving. Serve with chicken legs, salmon, and—oh, yeah—salad. -
Recipe
Honey-Mustard Dressing
The punch of this dressing relies on the brand of Dijon you use (and they can vary wildly). If you’re looking to increase the heat, add a pinch or two of dry mustard. For a real treat, use the dressing to baste peaches, nectarines, or apricots on the grill. -

Green Goddess Dressing
Green goddess dressing is good on almost anything and is always great as a dip. Try it in place of hollandaise on asparagus or eggs Benedict. -

French Dressing
If French dressing is one of your favorites, keep this recipe at the ready; it’s destined to become your go-to. Apple-cider vinegar, celery seed, and dry mustard make its flavor a cut above the rest. Besides the obvious, use it as a dip or spread for grilled cheese sandwiches. -

鳄梨沙拉酱
Avocado provides the creamy richness of mayonnaise in this dressing. I’ve also added some arugula for a bitter balance. Try it with crudités and chicken wings or use it in wraps. -

Sweet & Spicy French Dressing
Bitters add depth and balance to this dressing. I use celery bitters in everything from this dressing to Bloody Marys to beef stew and gravy. Delicate with a zing, this dressing is great with grilled or broiled fish.
