Salad dressing
Varies widely by style, from tangy and thin to creamy and rich.
Lens analyzedSalad dressing here covers ready-made bottled dressings, from creamy ranch and blue cheese styles to thinner vinaigrettes, mixed to coat greens without a separate oil-and-vinegar step. Shaking or whisking before pouring redistributes any oil or herbs that have settled.
Where it comes from
Bottled salad dressing grew into its own supermarket category through the 20th century, as home cooks looked for a shortcut to restaurant-style vinaigrettes and creamy dressings without measuring separate ingredients each time.
Buying it
Check the ingredient list for the fat source and any allergens like egg or dairy, and shake an unfamiliar bottle to see how well it emulsifies before buying.
Storing it
Refrigerate after opening and keep the cap tight, since most bottled dressings separate or spoil faster once air gets in.
Keeps about 3 months in the fridge.
