Thanks - i think i invented it, am pretty sure i did,  but then i found it in a sandwich in london, as (?) coronation salad?  maybe for the coronation of queen victoria and the connection with the indian colonies?  So maybe i had subliminally taken it in from some cookbook and forgotten and then done it myself thinking i'd invented it.  anyway, yeah, it's a nice surprise. 

There are many great mustards on the market, great tasting dijons including a honey dijon.

Maybe choose a pesto

Tapinade , either black olive or green

sundried tomato spread

mushroom spread

artichoke spread

spinach spread

pimento....

using fresh or dried herbs , spices.

fresh vegetable, maybe adding more crunch

and of course there is no end to chutneys.

sweet onion spread, spanish onion

A few ideas..

Arugula/walnut pesto

Cranberry coulis

Apple cider vin/cherry gastrique

Stone ground mustard aioli

Black pepper and roasted garlic aioli

Note - When I say aioli..I mean exactly that. The great thing is, when you make it yourself, you can add whatever acid you want...whether it be a vinegar, citrus (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, yuzu...etc..as well as the zest)

What type of greens/cheese are you using? If you do wind up going with an aioli, you can get some really nice harmonization by pairing the greens with the type of acid you decide to put into the aioli.

A good spread is cream cheese whipped with a little olive juice, jalepeno juice, sliced green olives, shredded cheddar & chopped bacon. There are alot of textures but it makes a great spread.  The jalepeno juice gives it just a little kick without making it real spicey. Hope this helps.

Simonbaker, that's sounds amazing!!  I'm so making that as a dip for our next get-together with the fam!!

Coronation Chicken was 'invented' for the coronation of QEII - to honour our then Commonwealth cousins in India and other asiatic countries!

Ah, thanks Ishbel - i thought it would have come from the height of the empire. 

I spread a little italian dressing on my sandwiches sometimes. Don't pour on too much or your bread will go soggy. Just a little bit you can spread around with a knife. Moistens and spices up the sandwich. Healthier than mayo!

Aside from making your own, Kraft's Classic Caesar is a.m.a.z.i.n.g! I could put that on almost anything.

A commercially made dressing?  With all its additives and preservatives?  Naaaahhhhh!

I would use a spiced avacado spread (not guacamole).  Just mash a couple of ripe avocados with a tablespoon of honey,  a teaspoon of lime juice and season it to your taste with chipotle chili powder and a bit of salt.  Spread a healthy amount on whole grain bread, add a nice slice of leaf lettuce, turkey and sliced beefsteak tomatoes.

I make homemade waffles and fried chicken, I haven't expanded to dressings yet.. give me some time haha

Home made salad dressings are probably amongst the easiest recipes in the whole world - and with lots of alternative ingredients - and no chemicals!

I use to made salad dressing by adding some fresh fruits to it. Adding strawberries to some fresh greens with a squeeze of lemon makes for a refreshing summer salad. 

I tried to get my husband not switch away from bottled Italian dressing by making fresh oil and vinegar with herbs and garlic. 

He says it’s not the same (of course it’s not you goof), “I don’t like it”!

Old family recipe for a sandwich spread. I ate this stuff buy the jar when I was young and will be making it next spring and canning it. This is the best spread I have ever eaten. 

1 GAL GREEN TOMATOES

8 SWEET PEPPERS, 1/2 RED/1/2 GREEN

6 LARGE ONIONS

GRIND ALTOGETHER AND LET STAND OVERNIGHT

ADD:

1 CUP VINEGAR

2 CUPS SUGAR

3-4 TSP SALT

7-8 TBSP FLOUR

COOK ALTOGETHER FOR 20 MIN, THEN ADD 1/2 CUP FRENCH'S YELLOW MUSTARD; 1 QT OF HELLMAN'S MAYO

LET MIXTURE GET HOT AND SEAL AT ONCE

Kraft,Kens, and Hellmans  make good Instatutional dressings, I  try and duplicate it without all the chemicals. I succeed at a  lot  of them ,but then there are some you can't.. My friends tell me mine taste the same as the Kraft does . Don't know if I should take as compliment or not?

I have duplicated  Catalina,  Honey Mustard,  Ranch,  Oriental Sesamee, 1000isle,  French,  Vadallia Onion,  Bacon and Tomato,  Raspberry Vin,Balsamic,  Bleu Cheese(mine is chunkier )    

+1 to the Branston pickle...They always make a sandwich great!

Grilled brie, smoked turkey & cherry jam on sourdough~ ME-YOW! My favorite  :)
