Caesar dressing

This is an emulsified dressing that’s commonly used in local Greek restaurants. It may not be authentic, but it hits all of the notes of the classic table-side service.

Classic French dressing

French dressing is a classic early restaurant memory for us. The emulsified version is a North American twist, but it works just as well as an oil and vinegar dressing.

Greek dressing research

This is a survey of techniques and sample recipes, not a recipe; it’s what led to Greek Islands’ creamy Greek dressing. The samples are kept as found, so their ratios don’t all agree.

Greek Islands' creamy Greek dressing

Our version of the house dressing at Greek Islands, the one on every side salad. Shaken, it’s a bright, garlicky vinaigrette. Whisked into an egg yolk, it turns creamy like the restaurant’s.

Simple chunky salad dressing

This is a fridge-magnet recipe that is perfect to mop up old herbs and sour cream. We often have it over a chunky combination of sliced cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and celery.

Simple green goddess dressing

I saw a simpler version of green goddess dressing on a wedge salad in Atlanta. It was bright, garlic-forward, and herbal (but not emulsified). This is my version of it.

Asian slaw dressing

This is my approximation of an Asian slaw dressing, based on pantry ingredients. It’s a great base for a slaw or chunky salad.
