<p>I've read that coconut oil can be used for salad dressing but it seems too thick to me. What do you all use? Alternatives to consider are avocado oil, olive oil, and red palm oil (haven't tasted it yet). Maybe I can mix these with coconut oil to make something that's runnier? I'm following the PHD.</p>

<p>I use extra-virgin olive oil for salads (I cook with coconut oil), it works fine and it's pretty healthy.</p>

<p>EVOO for salads. However I often go no oil and just use vinegar.</p>

<p>i usually make my own dressing, which usually consists of EVOO, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, and sometimes a bit of garlic.</p> <p>salsa and/or guacamole also works as an excellent salad dressing! </p>

<p>I use...wait for it...WARM BACON GREASE. I have tasted it and now i cannot go back. Best on spinach or a salad that tastes good wilted.</p>

<p>EVOO and vinegar, but straight up coconut aminos works pretty well.</p>

<p>My dressing of choice is 1 part macadamia nut oil to 2 parts apple cider vinegar (the raw unfiltered kind). EVOO is good too, but I've been persuaded to go the mac nut route (and pay for the privilege) for its supposedly better <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/macadamia-oil/#axzz1iaZZDe6A" rel="nofollow">fatty acid profile</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Macadamia oil owes its stability mostly to its extremely low omega-6 fatty acid content (the lowest of all traditional cooking oils, next to coconut oil), high monounsaturated fatty acid content (it runs over 80% MUFA, mostly oleic acid, which is higher than olive oil’s content), and a decent portion of saturated fat (around 16%, which is pretty good for a nut oil). Omega-6 linoleic acid is the most unstable, so having almost none of it makes macadamia oil superior to most.</p> </blockquote>

<p>Talking of oils - specifically EVOO - there was an interesting piece in today's <i>Guardian</i> on the possibility that an awful lot of what we think is pure EVOO is fraudulently contaminated with other oils such as soyabean, canola and sunflower. <a href="http://goo.gl/NL4QK" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/NL4QK</a><p>And my choice of salad dressing oil would be EVOO, lime juice and a splash of cider vinegar.<p>Although BaconHealsChic's suggestion sounds damn good. :)</p>

<p>I make all my dressings and depending on the greens you can get away with manipulating the fat. For spinach and heartier greens, such as kale, warm up your coconut oil/marrow butter/bacon fat/or whatever else as those greens can handle the warmth - definitely the heartier ones better than spinach but a warm spinach salad is mighty tasty. You can keep it simple with salt/pepper and whatever acid you like or enhance with some chopped shallot/garlic/scallion/fresh herbs. For lighter greens such as arugula for myself I like avocado or mac nut oil. I keep a bottle of extra virgin around but I don't really ever use it. I don't measure anything - just eyeball and taste until it's where I want it.</p> <p>Hands down my favourite dressing is lemon, salt/pepper, shallot, mac or avocado oil. </p>

<p>I like to use a hardboiled egg yolk mixed with EVOO, lemon juice, and a touch of Worchestishire. </p> <p>And Bacon Fat, when I have some lying around.</p>

<p>In the spirit of science I'm soaking part of a sliced ripe Oregon black truffle in olive oil right now. Destination salad. It remains to be seen whether it's the best salad.</p>

<p>my go-to dressing is olive oil, vinegar (either balsamic, red wine etc.) and honey. I will also add mustard seed if i want a bit of spice. </p>

<p>I've made a great Paleo Ranch dressing with coconut milk, olive oil and herbs. <a href="http://northwestcavegirls.com/2012/03/paleo-ranch-salad-dressing/" rel="nofollow">http://northwestcavegirls.com/2012/03/paleo-ranch-salad-dressing/</a></p>
