Cobbs Brown Derby Salad Dressing

My review: This is a great dressing. Somehow a little different of a vinaigrette than what I normally find and make, I think it's the addition of dry mustard. I really like it. It's got a nice little twang but is not overpowering. I can see this being ideal on a Cobb Salad.

The dressing looks lovely Linda and I enjoy a little twang. :) I've never ever had a Cobb salad. Googled it and it sounds very nice!

Great photo Linda, the dressing sounds tasty! It's almost like my Caesar salad dressing except I use white wine vinegar instead of red, and of course add a dollop of mayo. But identical in everything else, so I know I would love it! :)

Ooooo Shona … do you have that recipe written up? I would love it! I've been searching for a Caesar dressing without having to make a homemade mayo.

Sorry Linda, I don't have it written up unfortunately. I've been making it for over twenty yrs and I just eyeball and taste as I go. Very similar to this, although I would sub most of the oil for mayo (but not nearly 3/4 cup, more like a 1/4 cup mayo and drizzle enough oil in until it's a thick dressing consistency) I don't like anchovy or the paste so I never use that, but that's why I use Worcestershire sauce-- like this dressing has. And when I toss the salad I add the parm to that with plenty of black pepper rather than add it to the dressing. I would have to work on the dressing for some time if I plan to measure and write it out, lol..But I may just do that soon so my kids have the recipe too, they love Caesar salad!

I just searched online to find similar recipes to mine, and you're right--most use raw eggs! But I did find two that are close:

https://www.theblackpeppercorn.com/wprm_print/14816 <-----for this one I would double the mayo and half the oil, and use white wine vinegar for half the lemon juice. I started using the vinegar a few yrs ago and like it better than all lemon juice. (Lemons can be so inconsistent in acid and flavour!) And sometimes I only use vinegar if out of lemons and it's still good! (of course I leave out the anchovy paste ;)

https://www.food.com/recipe/mock-caesar-salad-dressing-150669 <------I would use mayo for the sour cream in this one. I have tried it with sour cream and yogurt before but I miss that rich flavor the mayo has.

This does sound pretty similar to a Caesar dressing. I have one but it has anchovies lol, you can't really tell that's what it is though! Bookmarking this one and wonderful picture Linda :)
