Salad Dressing Recipes

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

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.

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.

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.Submitted by: SKINNYSOON13

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. Submitted by: AWILL94571

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.Submitted by: GOAL110.COM

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.Submitted by: GRAMMAOFFIVE
