There is a laundry list of salad dressings out there to add to your plate of leafy greens, but there are plenty of other ways to use dressing, too. From pasta salads and marinades to dips and pasta dishes, check out some of our favorite ways to use dressing outside of salads — and share some of your own ideas in the comments.
Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip
If you’re looking for a set-it-and-forget-it dip recipe to have on hand, this spicy variation should be on your radar. Made complete with ranch dressing, cream cheese, shredded chicken, cheese, and Buffalo sauce, this recipe is as easy as it gets.
Italian Dressing Steak Marinade
Don’t ruin a good steak by taking it right from the package to the grill without marinating it first. To get a flavorful, juicy steak, opt for a marinade. If you’re no expert on marinades, there’s no need to fret. Just grab a bottle of Italian dressing, some A1 sauce, and a couple of other pantry staples, and you’re good to go.
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
With so many variations, it’s hard to go wrong with pasta salad. All you have to do is throw a bunch of ingredients together and voilà, you’ve got a yummy side. This saltiness of the bacon and cheese in this pasta salad is complemented by the tang of the ranch dressing for one tasty flavor combo.
Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs
We know what you’re thinking: rosemary and ranch dressing seems like an unusual culinary combination. But don’t knock it until you try it. While ranch is tangy and has notes of garlic and dill, the rosemary has a robust flavor that packs a punch. Why not marry these flavors into one delectable chicken recipe?
Classic Reuben Sandwich
As far as salad dressings on sandwiches go, Thousand Island on a reuben is probably as classic as it gets. It’s the perfect sweet and creamy companion to tone down the saltiness of the corned beef and the sourness of the sauerkraut. This sandwich certainly isn’t lacking in the flavor department.
Fully Loaded Grinder Sandwich
Between the bread, two cheeses, four meats, and a slew of veggies, you definitely don’t want to skimp on the sauce if you want a good grinder. This recipe includes mayo, but the real star of the show in the condiment department is the Olive Garden Italian Dressing it requires.
Honey Mustard Chicken Tacos
There are about a hundred different ways to prepare tacos. This one goes outside the box and brings in honey mustard as a sauce. The recipe requires chicken tenders with a honey mustard dipping sauce and morphing them into a taco. We’re not mad at it.
