I love salad! It is one of the greatest things on this earth. I voted for Ranch because out of those listed, it would definately be my favorite. I also love dipping chicken in ranch dressing.
Two of my other absolutely favorite dressing would be Catalina and Russian. They're both sort of sweet in taste, but absolutely yummy.
Italian is good though, but I'm not too crazy about it on my salad. Now, marinating vegetables like tomatoes in Italian dressing is great for a sort of vegetable salad type deal.
Catalina & Russian dressings have been added to this poll as per request of the Architect.
My absolute favorite is Green Goddess. It is like a green, spicy, ranch dressing. Next to that is ranch.
However, bleu cheese is perfect with hot buffalo wings - better than anything else.
salad dressings are a pretty new thing to me, we didn't eat them when I was growing up, and neither did my Husband's family, I think it is more of an 'international influence' that more and more restaurants are offering a variety of salad dressings.
I have tried the thousand island dressing though, and quite like that.
We just tend to eat a salad with a great big dollop of mayonnaise, a salad wouldn't be the same without it.
