If you think the dressing isn’t the most crucial part of the salad bar in Seymour, WI, you may be lying to yourself. The nutrients you get from the vegetables are undoubtedly integral. The meat that you top your salad with adds flavor and texture you may not otherwise get. The cheese you add because cheese is simply delicious. The dressing, though, is the place where the real flavor comes in.
The right dressing on a well-made dinner salad elevates a salad into something truly spectacular. All you have to do is pick the proper dressing for your dish.
Don’t go overboard
When used properly, a quality salad dressing accentuates the tastes of your ingredients without overpowering them. Salad dressings are made to be as flavorful as possible in every single bite. As a result, if you’re not careful, you can completely ruin your salad’s taste and texture by simply using too much dressing. That means when you’re picking out the dressing of your choice, you should make sure not to drown your salad, but rather to use the dressing as a topping, not a primary ingredient.
With all that in mind, here are some of the most popular dressings for dinner salads at our salad bar in Seymour, WI.
Ranch
If you’ve topped your delicious dinner salad with steak or chicken, then you simply can’t go wrong with ranch dressing. This creamy favorite has been spreading across the country since it was created in Alaska in the 1950s. It’s somewhat heavy, so a little goes a long way, but if you’re looking for a substantive dressing to add a savory tang to your dinner salad, ranch is the way to go.
Thousand island
The old legend says that around the turn of the 20th century, the wife of a man who led tourists on fishing tours created an all-purpose dressing to eat with his lunch. After sampling it, a famous actress at the time requested the recipe. She passed it along to another, and another, and before everyone knew it, thousand island was being added to salads and sandwiches featuring red meat and fish.
Italian dressing
If you’re not in the mood for a salad dressing with a cream base (like thousand island or ranch), try out an Italian dressing. This highly-customizable dressing style involves adding some popular Italian seasonings like oregano, thyme, basil and others to a simple olive oil base. It’s easy to mix up at home and never fails to add a light, savory taste to any dinner salad.
