What's your favorite bottled salad dressing? Non-salad lover looking to eat more greens

[Anonymous]

On the advice of my doctor, I am trying to eat more leafy greens. This is not for weight loss, but for glaucoma. I've been cooking greens, but am getting a bit sick of that plus I feel like a salad is easier to do daily.

I'm looking to hear what salad dressings others like. I'm more interested in something that tastes good, so I can develop a long-term habit, than worrying about finding the healthiest option out there. I tend to prefer slightly sweet and/or creamy dressings. I've tried several, just looking for other ideas to try.

My fave creamy one is Green Goddess - not sure which bottled brand is best though.

I like Marie's White Balsamic Shallot it is a creamy white dressing. It is in the refrigerated section of salad dressings but not all stores have it. Sometimes I find it at Safeway but rarely at Giant.

I like Bolthouse Farm's blue cheese and casear dressings.

and I really like white balsamic. I make my own so I don't have a brand, but now I am going to go try

White balsmaic with shredded spinach, some fruit, nuts, and goat cheese is one of my favorite salads.

I'm a salad connoisseur, lol. I've literally studied the history of salad dressing (weird, I know). Generally speaking, bottled dressings are pretty bad -- just full of cheap oil and sugar. I just pour a bit of evoo and vinegar into a ramekin with some s&p, honey, and dijon and mix it up.

As far as a good bottled dressing goes, I do like Annie's Goddess dressing. You can definitely get it at Whole Foods, and maybe Giant as well. But you will only like it if you like the taste of tahini.

I like Brianna's poppy seed dressing on a salad with kale, strawberries (or a dried fruit like cranberries), goat cheese, and sunflower seeds. Yum!

DP. I love it as a marinade for grilled vegetables in the summer, especially summer squash.

I was so happy to find this at the grocery store last week.

For taco/southwest salads I mix mayo (usually homemade) and salsa together for the dressing.

I came here to say this. Gotham Greens in the produce section is the BEST. Whole Foods brand version is not as good.

Marie’s Blue Cheese is superb.
