Buttermilk Poppy Seed Dressing
The allure of the tangy buttermilk combined with the sweet and tart cider vinegar is absolutely unbeatable. And the poppy seeds give the whole mixture lovely color and added pizazz.

Mixed Greens with Clementines and Pecans
I love this salad because it screams Springtime even though it’s made with ingredients that are delicious in the winter. When you are feeling that your menus are lugubrious with heavy stews and dull, overcooked madness, you should give this a try.

Sweet Peanut Lime Dressing
This dressing is a variation of one of my favorite go-to dressings, a light citrus combo that is sweetened with a bit of sugar and honey. I use it on my Thai Chopped Salad with Crisp Noodles and Herbs, but if you leave out the peanut sauce, you can use it as the basis for a Mandarin Orange Salad or even as a marinade for meat or vegetables.

Gorgeous Greek Dressing
Face it – if you like caesar dressing, you like anchovies. No balking about it – it’s a fact. These little salty gems are the base for this addictive dressing. Serve it over a salad of crisp greens, cucumbers, tomato, kalamata olives and feta. Or use it as a dip from crudité – matchsticks of carrots, celery, cucumber, bell pepper and squash couldn’t find a better home than this dressing.

French Lemon Tarragon Vinaigrette
If ever you feel like it’s a “boo-hoo eat salad at home like a dieting loser” kind of night, I strongly advise you to make this dressing. The recipe originally came from my mom – a bold mixture of lemon, garlic and olive oil packing a serious punch on whatever greens she dressed them with. It woke your ass up.
