salad dressing
Ranch or Italian
Salad dressing is a sauce poured over salad to add flavor and moisture.
Common varieties include vinaigrettes (oil and vinegar), creamy dressings like ranch or blue cheese, and emulsified types like Caesar.
What kind of dressing would you like?
The dressing often defines the salad: a Caesar salad gets Caesar dressing.
