I know most of you probably make your own, but my favorite is mixing blue cheese dressing with golden italian. we call it our creamy italian. Any other suggestions?

Here are a few of our favourites.
Enjoy.


Spicy French Dressing

6 Tablespoons salad oil (*)
2 Tablespoons wine vinegar

¼ teaspoon celery salt
a dash of hot chili sauce
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method~~Place all ingredients in a small screw-top jarr for several hours before serving so the flavours can combine.
Remove the clove of garlic and shake vigorously.


Pickled Cucumber Dressing

My two favs:

Lemon Gorgonzola

Ingredients
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Dash Worcestershire sauce
6 anchovy fillets
Pinch freshly ground pepper
1 cup pure olive oil
About 1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Put the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, egg yolk, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, and pepper in a blender and blend until well mixed. With the machine running, add the olive oil, at first by drops and then, as the mixture emulsifies, in a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated. Pulse in the Gorgonzola to taste (the riper the cheese, the less you will need) and the Parmesan. Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed. You should have about 1 1/3 cups. (The dressing keeps, refrigerated, for 2 to 3 days.)
