Salad Dressing Recipes

Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats.

Use this to dress your salad or as a dipping sauce for cut vegetables. Don't like cilantro? No problem, just swap it out for Italian parsley or dill.

You will never guess that the dressing is oil-free and packed with three cups of greens, zucchini and avocado! I call it great green dressing.

Fresh summer salad dressing

We love all the sweet flavors and contrasting textures in this simple fruit salad. Sprinkle chopped, toasted nuts or granola on top for crunch.

This is a nice spinach salad with oranges and almonds and the sweet-sesame dressing can be used as a great dip for raw veggies, spring rolls, and dumplings. The calories will be less if you use low-sodium soy sauce but they didn't have that listed.

The tangy dressing contrasts well with the smoky bacon, sweet bell pepper, and red onion.

A copy cat recipe to the highly processed version of Panera's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Dressing.

Serve on a salad of Romain, red onion, tomato, pecans, dried apple chips and Gorgonzola cheese. The sweet and savory flavors are awesome!

If you like ranch, you'll LOVE this easy and healthier alternative.

Very low cal and low fat. Healthy way to satisfy sweet tooth.

This is a great and easy salad dressing for Mexican inspired dishes. Great on tacos and burritos too!

In the picture, I also added another 1/4 of the avocado, chopped, into the salad. I had just finished a hard workout and the extra good fat was welcome! (The extra avocado would add about 7 grams of fat, mostly monounsaturated, and about 73 more calories.)

This is a modified version of the recipe that my mom made when I was a kid. It still has a load of sodium, but I haven't figured out how to lower that just yet.

This goes well on a Salad or to dip chips in (I generally crush up chips and put them in with a salad)

If you make the rice ahead of time this only takes about 5 minutes to make and it is delicious! If you are trying to cut out a few more calories, use less oil in the dressing and less avocado.

This is like my other tuna pasta salad except for the dressing.

Although there are a lot of ingredients, this could not be simpler. Just boil the water while preparing the dressing, And cut up veggies while the pasta is cooking. In no time you have a delicious meal.

I found this on allrecipes.com as Chicken Noodle Salad with Peanut-Ginger Dressing. I tweaked this recipe to my taste as I would not be able to eat fresh ginger and red pepper flakes to the mix. It would have been way to spicy. You can make it vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding tofu if you wish. Great for when you have a crowd.

You could add edamame or cauliflower to the mix. Any veggies you prefer.

This is excellent with warm pasta and chicken.

From the Eating Well Web Site

This is a great salad dressing recipe for a romantic dinner with your partner.

This is the marinade for another recipe here on sparkpeople (Grilled Chipotle Chicken Breasts). It is a DELICIOUS marinade as well as DELICIOUS salad dressing! If you seperate the recipe into two, you can marinade 2-5 chicken breasts in half, and then baste with the other half.

Great on Salmon, Tuna or Swodfish

This dressing is perfect on any salad, especially with shrimp, it also serves as a great marinade for steak. I first had this a small outdoor cafe and searched high and low for the recipe. I finally found this recipe on about.com from "The Official Vermont Maple Cookbook," Second Edition, published by the Vermont Maple Foundation. It's not as good as the dressing at Vintage Cafe but it is a close second.

A deliciously fresh salad dressing with a kick to it.

Delicious thick, creamy, low fat, low cal, veryyyy garlicy salad dressing.

I love steak and cheese but my figure does not.
So I had to come up with a healhy alturitive. Also it take not time at all to make.

Found this on a website, originally from Vegetarian Times

This is a mix of vegetables and fruit. A delicious way to work them into your diet.
