Ranch is the shiz though! What are you using now? I like to make my own as I go. Usually something with fresh garlic, basil, onion, cider vinegar, dijon mustard, olive oil and a little honey. Then you can elaborate. Hot sauce, more herbs whatever.....but cider vin is my favorite tasting one to build off from.

You have more options for mixing up your salad than your dressings.



Try baby spinach, add shredded carrots, sunflower seeds grape tomatoes, deli turkey or chicken, hard boiled egg, potato sticks, or different croutons. That's really close to the salad I get when I'm at work and go to the cafeteria.

Try honey and mustard, with a little black pepper.

thin with vinegar if needed.



Majik hit the nail on the head, try a bunch of stuff.



Chicken, spinach, swiss cheese, diced egg, and some raspberries, with a vinegar and honey dressing might be worth a try.

I like the Kraft Creamy Poppy Seed and their Cucumber ranch. Western makes a French with Bacon.
