Growing up, salad was a couple chunks of iceburg lettuce drowned in bacon grease. With all men in the house except me, somedays the family just considered the tomato on our cheeseburger the “salad.” Needless to say, we didn’t actually eat a lot of salads in a house where Sunday dinner was a can of Spam. (I’m not joking.) So my salad dressing collection is a bit thin.
So I’ve compiled a few. Some are family faves and some are new but sound delicious. Now I can whip up the perfect salad to go with that bacon grease sandwich.

My brother has a blog similar to yours but it is written in Spanish. I like yours better to be honest.
