Not OP - but going to try this one! We love Ken’s Lite Caesar Vinaigrette

Olive Garden has a couple good ones that are now sold in the grocery store.

Chopt Mexican green goddess (they sell it in a bottle)

Ken’s creamy Cesar. I sometimes add a shot of sriracha to it. This one is particularly good with stuff like kale that need something that really soaks into it. With kale, I really chop it to get the dressing in there.

Brianna's Caesar
Makoto Ginger (in the fridge section)
Olive Garden Original

Litehouse ranch is the only good store bought ranch. With the blue lid.

I also like the dressings from Tessamae’s, and those from Cindy’s Kitchen — especially the Greek Feta with Black Olive.

I sometimes use Whole Foods Guacamole along with a bit of mayo or vinaigrette, and sometimes use Trader Joe’s chimichurri sauce.

One of my favorite salads is butter lettuce topped with a crab cake or shrimp salad and the Lemon Garlic Basil dressing.

I don’t know how you’re assembling your salads, but you might want to try different types of lettuce and other greens, and add things that you like to your pile of greens. Shrimp, guacamole, leftover chicken… whatever turns the salad into a meal.

+1 on the Field + Farmer Lemon Garlic Basil dressing. It’s the winner in our house and all of the kids ask for more salad when we use it. I try to never run out.

The kids also really like Primal Kitchen Caesar. It’s not refrigerated. It’s my favorite Caesar dressing and is extra delicious with a little sriracha added.

Briana’s French vinaigrette that another pp mentioned is a go-to for me but the kids don’t love it as much.

Depends on the greens.

Arugula
- usually just a squeeze of lemon or plain

Mixed greens
- lemon with olive oil
- homemade (eg, olive oil with Dijon, vinegar, balsamic, smallest pinch of salt, garlic)
- ranch (grew up in the Midwest; it’s an addiction)

Rubbed kale
- I use this dressing recipe pretty often. The salad is also good: https://www.skinnytaste.com/kale-salad-with-quinoa-and-cranberries/#recipe

I like honey mustard when I want something a little sweet but not overpoweringly so.

To the OP, another idea to help you enjoy salads more is to add crunchy stuff on top like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, sliced or slivered almonds, and roasted edamame. Top with dried cranberries for another shot of sweet.

This is my go-to bottled dressing (if I don’t feel like making my own).

Mostly I make my own but I also use this: Gazebo Room Greek Salad Dressing & Marinade

It has no added sugar.

I prefer vinaigrettes over creamy and i adore oldie but goodie “Good Seasons” Italian dressing package where I use my own oils and vinegar of choice. I usually add some cracked black pepper.

This. It takes about 30 seconds to make.

Paul Newman’s Caesar is awesome.

If you like cilantro, then Trader Joe’s cilantro dressing (in the refrigerated section) is my favorite.

MOMO ginger and sesame dressings are excellent.
