Echh.<br /><br />I hear you! Salad dressing should be to salad as cologne is to pulse points. If you're treating lettuce as a vehicle for dairy fat, you're just as hapless as a frat boy who reeks of Polo.Amy Bolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846498095298191128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-44252787017729280852010-07-19T15:43:35.557-04:002010-07-19T15:43:35.557-04:00I think one reason people enjoy those heavy salad ...I think one reason people enjoy those heavy salad dressings is because many traditional salad ingredients don't contain enough fat. We often eat salads & don't feel full or satisfied. Something like heavy ranch dressing helps us feel like we've had a meal. I have to admit I'm guilty of this sometimes too.Dale Crusehttp://drinksareonme.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-41030502017162749992010-07-19T15:38:45.256-04:002010-07-19T15:38:45.256-04:00I like to savor my vegetables with the creamy zing...I like to savor my vegetables with the creamy zing of bleu cheese :-)<br /><br />Rich, as I said before, I don't think that mixing light and heavy textures in salads is necessarily a bad thing. It's not so great when clumsily done, but a well-placed blob of Thousand Island really does it for me.<br /><br />Might be that I'm from Wisconsin.VintageEatshttp://www.twitter.com/VintageEatsnoreply@blogger.com
