4 tips on how you can also use dressing

Dressing is always the best part of a salad, so why not use it in cooking too?

  • Like a marinade

Many salad dressings contain both an acidic ingredient, such as vinegar, and a fat, such as oil—the two essential ingredients in a marinade—which means dressings can make excellent marinades.

  • With potatoes

Potatoes are a versatile vegetable. And the dressings make them even more delicious.

  • Like a dip

Salad dressings can be used as a dip for various dishes.

  • For pasta salad

Whether you’re looking for an easy side dish or lunch, pasta salad is a great choice. Try mixing it with salad dressing.
