I love to put Western salad dressing on my salads. It's so tangy and delicious! Do ya'll like it?

I've never heard of western salad dressing? what's it like?

Wowugotit said:

Is that the same as ranch? If so, then yes, I love it. It's my favorite.

Shorty said:

It's like Catalina.

i gots to change my screen name!!

It's similar to Catalina or French. It's so tangy and delicious. Try it! You'll be hooked.

I like honey mustard ranch.

Wowugotit said:

In that case, I'm not sure I would care for it. I'm not a big fan of either. But, I may give it a shot the next time I see it!

Poiple said:

It's very sweet. I liked it at one time.

I think I was 12.

Genesia said:

hmm...my mom makes a spaghetti salad with catalina dressing...maybe this would be a nice alternative.
I'm not so much a big fan of french or catalina...but I'd give it a try. I like italian dressing...or just plain old oil and vinegar with some salt and pepper.

Is it Dorthy Lynch?

I'm more of an Italian girl myself... occasionally Fat-Free Ranch.
There is this one dressing, called "Goddess" that I ADORE.

Wish-Bone® Western® Original
Try a savory twist on traditional French dressings. Try Wish-Bone® Western® Original Dressing. This rich and creamy French dressing is bursting with a savory blend of tomatoes, onion and garlic flavors. C'est fantastique.

Available in 16 and 36 oz. sizes. Also available in Fat Free and Lite.

Huh, I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen this dressing in any grocery store I have ever been in. Maybe it's a regional thing.

Poiple said:

What?? For real thats a salad dressing!!





Made in Lincoln Nebraska!!!

DOROTHY LYNCH! LMAO!

tinaz said:

I make my own. It's really good.

These are rough measurements:

2 tbls mustard (dijon or course brown/ground)
2 tbls fresh squeezed orange or lemon juice
good splash of champagne or white wine vinegar (red wine or cidar vinegar will do too)
2 tbls minced dill (or about 2 to 3" Dill paste)
sea salt, fresh pepper

Mix well until all is emulsified. Add to food processor and, on high, pour in about 3/4 - 1 cup olive oil. Keeps in fridge for a 3-4 days.

You can also add an inch of Anchovy Paste for more flavor. It's not fishy, but adds a great salty, earthy undercurrent.

Change it up with Basil paste, or grapefruit juice.

Holy smokes, I haven't thought about that in ages!! We used to eat that when I was a kid, although mom was a big 1,000 Island girl, and dad loved his Bleu Cheese.

Wowugotit said:

Ya, its one of little known things we in nebraska are proud of

Look harder the next time you're in the grocery store. It's a national brand by Wish-bone.

Poiple said:

I cant say that I have ever tried it myself... I dont really like orange dressings Or green for that matter.... Wait, wait... there is a poppy seed dressing I think may of had a green tinge that was awesome with club crackers crumbled on it... Loved it as a kid!
