"Ken's" salad dressing is excellent, and many of the Ken's varieties
(not all) are OU. There are a number of brands with an OU on at least
some of the varieties, even store brands. Generally, the ones with
cheese and wine as ingredients are always going to be treif. When I
was a little girl, if we were out of commercial salad dressing my
mother sometimes made "Russian" dressing by mixing ketchup with
mayonnaise. Add some sweet pickle relish to the ketchup and mayonnaise
mixture, and it becomes "Thousand Island." Or you can make any number
of vinagrettes by mixing oil and vinegar and adding seasonings. The
"Good Seasons" spice packet is OU.

There are shelves of them at my kosher meat store. But sometimes I
make my own.
Mix equal amounts of mayonnaise and ketchup for a sort of French
dressing; add relish for a sort of thousand island.
This is from a recipe for a dinner salad with soba and cucumber but
it's good with other things. 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp vegetable juice
shake or two of cayenne
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp dry mustard
This is for salmagundy, a salad with romaine and cubed chicken with
all kinds of pickles
1 tbs. prepared mustard (Colman’s is excellent)
4 tbs. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
This is my mother's bean salad dressing recipe but it's also good for
pasta salad and green salad and I use it to make marinated artichoke
hearts at half the price of canned.
½ c olive oil
½ c red wine vinegar
Good pinch of sugar
¼ tspoon basil
½ tspoon oregano
Couple pinches of pepper
Optional garlic powder and onion powder
Patty
Add some garlic (my favorite seasoning) and you've got me.
Patty
Oops I forgot this one but I had to go turn the omelet.
Green Goddess
½ c low fat cottage cheese
¼ c plus 1 tbsp low fat buttermilk
2 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp cider vinegar
Pinch cayenne or Tabasco
1-2 crushed garlic cloves
mix up in a blender
I can only get quart cartons of buttermilk but I use it up making
crumpets and soda bread.

My grandmother's was oil (I use Olive oil, I don't know what she used),
vinegar, random herbs (basil, rosemary, tarragon, whatever you've got), a
little tomato catchup and a teaspoon of sugar.

Here in New England, it is easy to find kosher salad dressing. The only
difficult ones are flavors which include cheese - like Caesar, some Italian
flavors than include cheese- or balsamic vinegar.
Try this - rub the salad bowl with a garlic clove, add salad, sprinkle with
a little olive oil and lemon juice, toss/mix the salad. A very bright and
fresh summer salad dressing.

I've been informed by my oldest that garlic + lemon gives it an unwelcome
bitter taste. So I think I'll go with Mirjam's. Don't know if Mirjam's works
with garlic sans lemon.

On a similar topic, we went to Costco and saw Grey Poupon Mustard (made from
white wine!). No hechsher on the two bottle pack. Couldn't buy it because we
keep a kosher kitchen. So my oldest went to a supermarket and found a small
8 oz. bottle of Grey Poupon with an OU. What gives?
Best,
Abe

The different sizes may have been bottled in different plants. A
number of years ago, I was buying some granola bars. Two boxes,
identical in every way. One box had a hechsher. The other one didn't.
There are certain brands of bag o'bread I buy in my city with a good
hechsher. When I visit Chicago, the identical brand/variety carries a
different (unacceptable to me) hechsher. Where I live, lots of
commercial breads are kosher certified. In Chicago, the options are
very limited.

I make my own. One part balsamic vinegar, three parts olive oil, minced
garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Whisk dementedly!

For a traditional vinaigrette you can add a dollop of mustard (e.g., the
Grey Poupon with the OU if you can find the right size :-) ) it acts as an
emulsifier keeping the vinegar and oil in suspension.

Yes Abe , you can add garlic , and i do from time to time ,
also Green onions are good , Those who like a softer garlic taste can
use garlic leaves [put some garlic `tooth` on a water container ,,,
eat the green leaves.
Basilicum leaves on their own or with other herbs [like mint leaves]
are also great ,,,,
My most beloved salad is
Cut a medium sizes onion, through the rings ,,,, and than into
`cubes`, `tear` leaves of lettuce , and cut through an orange , mix
well ,, leave for an hour ,,,,,,
Another is grate a cumcumber , 1 egg [for each person in the intended
meal] lavish with cut Dill ,,, cover dish and keep 3-4 in fridge ,,,,
before serving . [if it is too dry for you add some drops of Olive
oil

BTW TYPO in the soba salad dressing, it's vegetable OIL not vegetable
juice.

Don't be sorry. It's a valid topic and we _need_ a change-of-pace.
Come back more often.

Took me less than a minute to find this using "kosher salad dressing"
http://www.oukosher.org/index.php/product_search
I usually make my own using by whisking together Dijon mustard and
vinegar or lemon juice, then slowly adding extra virgin olive oil. Add
some salt and pepper. You can leave out the mustard, add chopped fresh
herbs (whatever you like or what will go with your salad ingredients),
or use both.
All amounts can be adjusted to your taste, but use at least two to three
times more oil than vinegar. The mustard doesn't just add flavor, but
also works as an emulsifier to hold the dressing together.

Many of Ken's are kosher. A good number of store brand are kosher.
Several Wishbone varieties are Kosher. Good Season is mostly kosher.
