This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Wish-bone.
Do you want to hear a 19-year-old health-nut/nutrition major scream?? Do you want to see her do the happy dance?
Have her open a HUGE box from the UPS man marked Wish Bone salad dressing in the corner. That will do the trick.
When I got home from school yesterday there was a box on my dining room table. Bitchy was home (after trying to kill me yesterday…) and after she received permission, she immediately opened the box, peeled back the bubble wrap and TA DA!!! Wish Bone Salad dressings. Yep- you heard me. A CASE of Wish Bone Salad dressings! There was Italian, Ranch, Lite Ranch, Blue Cheese, Lite Blue Cheese, Raspberry Vinaigrette, and Dijon Mustard. She literally screamed at the top of her lungs.
Needless to say, we are a family of salad eaters. We have SOME kind of salad with our meals each night – and I also love, love, love to throw something into the fridge to marinate that I can quickly throw on the grill when I get home. Bitchy decided that she needs to not walk me to death, but now wants to be in charge of our meals. THIS idea I loved. (She is a great cook- and CLEANS up after herself. Yep, you heard right…)
She made three dishes for us over the weekend. According to her, they were fairly quick and easy.
Italian Chicken Kabobs marinated in Italian Dressing.
Ranch Chicken and Bacon Salad (Ranch dressing) (They put ranch on EVERYTHING; AND hot sauce - it's the secret weapon ladies...)
Antipasto Salad (with the Balsamic Vinaigrette) (This was my personal fav.)

Yay! I love giveaways! I am rather bland with my salad dressings, though, and only use them on salads. We eat salad almost daily, though, so use plenty o' dressing!
ReplyDeleteOooh! I love this!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do with dressing is to marinate steak or chicken and even fish (though I don't marinate the fish) in Italian dressing. Wishbone's Italian is perfect, too.
So, here's what I do when it's time for some tilapia (my favorite fish at the moment). Use a 9x12 inch glass baking dish and lay your filets out neatly (neatness counts!). Shake up the Italian dressing really well and then pour on fish. There should be just enough dressing to fully cover each piece, but not enough to drown it. Next, add a quick sprinkle of parmesan cheese to the fish and a couple turns of the old peppermill. Pop this into the oven for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Fish should be lightly browned and flake at the touch of a fork. If needed, bake a couple minutes longer.
Serve over brown rice and with a side of your favorite steamed fresh veggies.
And send me that card!
P.S. Come visit and I will make you this and a couple of martinis. Either that, or fly me out and I'll be your personal chef/bartender for an extended period of time.

I also marinade with the dressing. I love to do meat and veggies for kabobs on the grill. I like to do tenderloins before roasting. I even mix some dressing into hambugers before grilling in the summer to up the flavor a little. Once in awhile-I just dunk big croutons into a small bowl of French dressing-and eat them as a snack
ReplyDeleteI'm sorta boring with my culinary skills, I use Wishbone on salads, in pasta salad and to marinate chicken.
ReplyDeleteOur very favorite is to marinate chicken (kids prefer only the legs) in Wishbone Italian and grill it. They won't use any other brand. It's a fond childhood memory for my kids that they have carried into their adult years. "Dad's Chicken Legs" they call it - and they call home to tell us every time they fix it. Great taste, but even greater memories.
ReplyDeleteI love to put wishbone dressings on my sandwiches. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWe're another family that marinates with it. When I buy the large family size packages of meat, I break them up into smaller portions to freeze. Then I put the dressing in the bag with the meat before freezing it. That way, when I take the meat out of the freezer to thaw, it's already happily sitting in its marinade.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a great giveaway!
That "Open to US residents" thing really frosts my poptarts.
ReplyDeleteI also marinate with it and use it in pasta salads. Pretty boring, but it sure does taste good!
ReplyDeleteWe love to use Italian dressing to flavor steamed veggies. I am hungry just thinking about all that dressing. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWe go through a large vat of Wishbone Ranch dressing just about weekly with my two kids. Our favorite recipe though is Ranch potatoes.
ReplyDeleteTake new potatoes and boil whole (after washing of course). Once cooked to the point of a soft fork entry drain the water. Cut the potatoes into chunks. Add Wishbone Ranch dressing, bacon bits, green onions, and stir until well coated. Super easy, simple, and delish!
Well I am afraid I don't have any new and exciting ways to use Wishbone salad dressings. My favorite is pasta salad. I use whole wheat pasta, cubed grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken, capers, sundried tomatoes, sweet basil and balsamic vinegarette. It gets better overnight in the fridge.

ReplyDeleteoops! I had a typo. :)
ReplyDeleteI love giveaways!!! John uses Italian dressing on his hoagies instead of oil. A whole lot more flavor that way!
I love to use the classic Italian as a marinade for my chicken or steak. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYa know, I'd do a lot better at linking this site from my site if I could just figure out how to get the friggin' Wishbone bottle to link! I hate being computer challenged!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh...yummy!! We saute chicken in Italian dressing and then serve it over linguine with a little red sauce and some garlic toast and a salad (with FF Italian or ranch, depending on which family member is eating it)!! Totally easy meal but my kids both LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI always use Wishbone Italian dressing as a marinade for my chicken thighs before I throw them on the grill. YUMMMM!
ReplyDeleteGreat contest!
I love using French Dressing as a dipping sauce for Artichokes. I also love using Fat Free Italian dressing for roast potatoes. And lastly, I love pouring Ranch dressing over an avocado and tomato salad!!! Hope I win!!!!

Just like the last 200 commenters, I marinate with Wishbone Zesty Italian. (It has to be Zesty, though!) It makes the best chicken evah! We grill it and then make the most awesome chicken cesear salad wraps. Yum!!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of chicken up above, and that is my *favorite* way to make it - with the Robusto Italian.
ReplyDeleteChicken wings or thighs (skin side down)- in pyrex baking dish (sprayed with Pam first). Cook on slow oven (325 - 350 degrees) for an hour - turning once. Drain off the liquid from the chicken. Turn the chicken again, pour on the Wishbone, and sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Cook another 1/2 an hour, and turn again (skin side up again). Add more Wishbone, and sprinkle with the garlic salt. We make *huge* quantities of this dish for parties, and it is always the biggest hit.
To serve with the chicken: Zucchini - cut in 1/4 inch strips the LONG way. Marinade in the Wishbone for an hour. Then throw the zucchini directly onto a hot grill, brushing with more of the Wishbone. Grill both sides evenly until zucchini is tender. Delicous!

I have to say, I like it the good ole fashioned way... on a cold, fresh salad. Great contest!
ReplyDeleteWishbone Salad Dressings make a great spread/sandwich sauce for Panini on the grill!
ReplyDeleteAAHice@aol.com
We love Wishbone! We use the ranch on our salads and the italian to marinate chicken for grilling. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteMy spring mix is just about ready for picking, so ANY Wishbone will do. Thanks for the contest
ReplyDeleteMarinating steak in Wishbone Italian is terrific too!
ReplyDeleteI marinate lots of stuff in wish bone italian and I also make pasta salad with it...AND pasta salad with the ranch.....AND heres the weird one? I LOVE to dip butter crackers in italian dressing with cheddar cheese...lol...thats a pregnancy thing from WAY BACK when....

ReplyDeleteand here is my blogpost! :)
I love the Italian to marinate chicken or beef before grilling. My husband also uses the Thousand Island as his own special sauce on hamburgers. My favorite has to be a big chef salad with plain ranch, YUM!!
ReplyDeleteMy vegetarian daughter cannot each a vegetable without dousing it with Wishbone Italian salad dressing! No Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing - then she's not eating her vegetables. You can see the problem here, as she's vegetarian. We never run out as she might, well, starve.
ReplyDeleteI use the Western Bacon in a warm potato salad. I also use the Asian Vinaigrette in my stir fries.
ReplyDeleteI make a pasta salad with their blue cheese dressing and chicken. It is delicious! Most of the time I use the low fat one too.
ReplyDeleteWe like to marinate chicken in Italian salad dressing, yummy
ReplyDeleteY'know...I was gonna say you people are weird, but then I realized that I, too, squeal with joy and do the happy dance when big boxes of bottles arrive at my house. Although mine are full of Downy Wrinkle Release spray. (I really hate to iron.)
ReplyDeletehehehe! I haven't used wishbone dressing...But I can totally just copy one of the other commentators and would even ship the results to you to win this contest! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a cook, but I LOVE Wish-Bone Italian!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter does make a delish pasta and chicken dish. She marinates diced chicken in Wish-Bone Italian and then sautes it until it's done. Put that over your pasta (we prefer angel hair) and then douse everything with more dressing. Very easy and very tasty.
I'm actually not a HUGE salad fan except for taco salad (with Catalina dressing) and my own creation of spinach leaves, pistacio nuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and Balsamic Vinegarette (a staple at all of my parties), but I LOVE salad dressing and since we are trying to "cut back" on late night munching without taking up smoking to to deal with the nighttime munching fixation we've taken to chomping on baby carrots with some low fat dressing...blue cheese for me and french or thousand island for hubby.
ReplyDeleteChild dips everything in salad dressing. It's the other mother's other little helper.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I marinate chicken in Wishbone Italian all the time. But my secret potato salad recipe includes it, too! While the potatoes are still warm, drizzle them generously with the dressing. Let the potatoes cool while the Wishbone yumminess soaks in. Then, and only then, add mayo, hard-boiled eggs, onion, celery, DILL pickles, and black olives.
ReplyDeleteOh, d*mn. I just gave away the secret recipe.

Being a vegetarian limits my recipes lol, but one of my fav's is to make a huge cold spinach salad with wild rice and sliced blanched almonds, and drizzle with WishBone Italian and a few shakes of parmesan cheese!
Fast, healthy and tasty!
We don't have wish-bone salad dressing in the UK or here in Sweden. But if we did, I would massage it into Russell Crowe.
ReplyDeleteI like the House Italian for salad and the Italian in a cold spaghetti salad

Use your favorite Wish bone vinaigrette (Italian is great here)
Pasta (whole wheat pasta is great)
Black olives
Zucchini/broccoli
Carrots (shredded or diced)
Red or yellow pepper
Artichoke hearts
Thank you for the contest.
Lovin' this contest! Thanks so much! We like to use the WishBone as a marinade for steak/chicken. And we also pour over raw veggies and just eat 'em cold!! Both are super! Robin @ rl-wilt@wiu.edu
ReplyDeleteI use it to marinate tri tip. It makes them so juicy and delicious. This stuff is the best!
ReplyDeleteI use it to marinate my chicken breast. Since it's the only meat I can really tolerate (and enjoy), I use it ALL.THE.TIME. Yep.
ReplyDeleteI use Wishbone on my pasta salad. Sometimes I throw in a can of black beans, too.
ReplyDeleteoohhh- I saw that comment up above about putting Wish Bone dressings on sandwiches! we love to do that! we marinade a LOT with Wish Bone Italian and we love the Raspberry Hazelnut Vinaigrette on salads-
ReplyDeleteI use Wish Bone on our salads which I serve several times per week and also use it as a marinade for meat and as a dressing for vegetables.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite recipe I've made so far is a rotini pasta salad with rotisserie chicken salad, kalamta olives and artichoke hearts with Italian dressing. Yum!

i cook broccoli in a frying pan with wishbone italian dressing- it's the only way i eat the green stuff!~jessica

I love to make a chicken pot pie (or mock chicken pot pie) my mixing the Italian with some cream cheese and putting the chicken, the veggies, the cream cheese and dressing mixture in a dish. Put one crust over it and bake. (One crust is half the calories). Mmm. Delish!
ReplyDeleteI use the Italian to make pasta salad and marinate and also in my dressings. I use the Ranch with fresh ground peppercorn, cherry tomatoes and crumbled bacon (the pre-cooked type you get at Costco) to make a BLT salad. It's GOOD.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the comments on this :) Lots of new ideas.
Saaaalaaaad!!!! (Remember Animal from the Muppets?)
ReplyDeleteI'm really unoriginal. I use salad dressing on SALADS.
mctrickyb at sbcglobal dot net
One of our favorite salads is with sliced grilled steak. It must have greek olives and avocado, lots of tomatoes, cukes and shaved parmesan cheese. I like using a good Italian dressing with this. Yum-yum.
ReplyDeleteAlso, for years and years when my Dad made grilled chicken he would brush it with French dressing. It's really good!
This is very simple but something that my grandmother always did when I was growing up and eating it reminds me of her - I use Italian dressing on sliced cucumbers. Simple, tasty and so refreshing. It was an after school treat that I looked forward to sharing with my grandma.
ReplyDeleteOther than using Wishbone Ranch to dip our vegies in, I use Italian dressing to cook chicken in. Delish!
ReplyDeleteI have a chicken salad I like to make. Baby spring greens with water chestnuts, slices of roasted chicken breast, slices of strawberry and a tiny little drizzle of Wish-Bone Raspberry Hazelnut. I eat 12 pounds of this at time. YUM.
ReplyDeleteI use Italian dressing to marinade just about everything. It's also really good on taco salad. Chicken kabobs in Italian dressing or balsamic vinegarette. Ranch dressing as a dip for anything. Always bleu cheese on salad, though, unless it's grilled chicken ceasar salad!
ReplyDeleteI mix 1 cup of their Ranch dressing with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesean, 2 cups of leftover grilled or boiled chicken (diced or chopped into 1/2 inch or smaller pieces), and 4-5 cups of shredded romaine lettuce and I get the worlds most fabulous chicken caesar salad in MINUTES.
ReplyDeleteThis is really important to me because I work a full time job and so does my hubby, so by the time I get home it’s around 5:30 p.m. and I have a starving hubby coming home at 6:00 p.m. and two starved kids waiting for me.

My new favorite way to use wishbone salad dressing is to put some Balsamic Vinaigrette in my Alfredo sauce while cooking it to make it taste even better!
ReplyDeleteI love adding salad dressing to mashed potatoes. I find it gives them an extra added kick and a surprise. I like using the Italian dressing as well as the ranch. BUt you can use any of these to give the potatos a great taste.
ReplyDeleteI use the Bountifuls Simply Santa Fe on my sub sandwiches
ReplyDeleteluckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
I like to put it on my salad. The end.

ReplyDeleteI add the Wish Bone Italion dressing to my wifes chicken enchiladas. Yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteokay comment number 100095 I believe..can I have the money please...and the food looks delicious now about that money :-)
ReplyDeleteI love to use the Italian dressing to marinate veggies such as squash, vidalia onions, mushrooms, green peppers, etc. along with chicken to make kabobs. I usually use our George Foreman grill to cook them and they are still good and tasty the next day as leftovers!!
ReplyDeleteI like to use Wishbone dressing as a marinade for all my summer grilling, from steaks to shrimp and all the in-betweens (incl. vegetables)
ReplyDeleteWe use Italian and Basalmic as marinades for chicken and pork. The Italian works great as a veggie marinade also.

ReplyDeleteI would use the WishBone Italian salad dressing and plain bread crumbs to coat and saute fresh tilapia filets. Yum! Yum!!
Try Wish Bone Zesty Italian sprinkled on crispy french fries in place of ketchup or vinegar. UMM UMM Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI use all flavors but blue cheese especially as dipping sauces for carrot sticks and other finger-food veggies. This is my idea of "cooking."
ReplyDeletequinnm(q.piper@yahoo.com)
For a marinating steak (like London Broil), mix one part Caesar dressing with one part Italian dressing and one part red wine (about 1/3 cup each). Stir thoroughly, marinate for at least six hours, turning occasionally, and then grill. We just ate this a few nights ago. Yum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great contest. Thanks.

I love chicken with italian dressing!!
ReplyDeleteI am known for my veggies on the grill and they just happen to be tossed with Wish-Bone Italian before cooking.
ReplyDelete~ fresh green beens, washed do not break
~ fresh thick sliced mushrooms
~ red onion, thinly sliced
~ feta cheese
Toss all veggies in a bowl with Wish-Bone Italian dressing.
Place them in a heavy duty foil wrap, pour some of the excess dressing over top. Sprinkle with feta. Seal foil and grill along with your meat, fish or poultry. Turn several tmes to assure browning of the beans. YUM!
-->I cut up fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from my garden and marinate them in Italian dressing for our lettuce-less salad every night with dinner. Y U M.
ReplyDeletehttp://thaxtonfam.blogspot.com/
Ooooh....I like pouring it in my girlfriend's belly button and dipping cherry tomatoes in it.
ReplyDeleteThat's what you're looking for, right? ;)
angel hair pasta, fresh diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, fresh ground black pepper, parmesean cheese and Robusto Italian dressing! This can be served warm or cold and gets tastier if you let it sit overnight...in the fridge of course!
ReplyDeleteWe love salads in our house too. My son especially loves Italian dressing on his salad although I'm not sure why because we all have ranch on ours??? Anyways my favorite it to put Italian dressing in a crock pot, boneless chicken breast, cook all day on low then with the last hour add a can of potatoes (because I'm always in a hurry and am never home to cook). Voila-dinner is done!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarinated Italian dressing with chicken or pork on the grill. And Italian on a pasta and veggies salad.
ReplyDeleteChicken breasts, cut into strips
ReplyDeleteGreen, red and yellow peppers, cut into strips
1/2 bottle Zesty Italian Dressing
Layer chicken in baking dish
Cover with raw peppers
Marinate 1 hour in dressing
Throw in oven at 350 for about an hour

FUN! My favorite was to use Wish Bone Salad dressing is by making a delicious pasta salad and drenching it with italian dressing...mmmm!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to use Wish Bone is to buy the Zesty Italian and make pasta salad with it. Easy, just cooked noodles, zesty dressing, cucumbers, chopped fresh broccoli, olives, cherry tomatoes cut in half and voila! Everyone always raves over it and it's so easy to make.
ReplyDeleteBitchy is an excellent name for a 19 year old. I should have given it to my almost 18 year old. LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteI do love the good ole stand by Spagetti Salad. Made with spagetti and any veggie you choose and Italian Dressing and a little Mrs. Dash!
What a neat gift!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to use Wish Bone salad dressing is to smear Ranch on porkchops and then bake in a greased dish at 370 F for approximately 45 minutes or until cooked through. So simple, and so tasty!
Sounds weird, but I love fried chicken with Italian dressing to dip it in. Yum! Great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteWow, there are so many ways to use dressings here, I'm going to have to try some. :)
ReplyDeleteNow on the boring side, I like vinaigrettes on salad. On the slightly more interesting side, dressings like Ranch or Caesar go great in salad wraps or those tortilla roll sandwich things (sorry don't know what they are actually called).
Salad Wrap - Take a tortilla, warm it slightly (makes it easier to roll, a few seconds in the microwave usually does the trick), you don't want it hot, just loosened up so it will roll.
Fill with salad, veggies, and your favorite cooked salad meat cut into bite sized pieces (I like chicken breast, salad shrimps, ham or turkey), and top with your favorite dressing. Roll it up like a burrito and enjoy!
For the rolls: Take a tortilla, again warming slightly. Spread a thin layer of dressing on the tortilla. Layer with your favorite sandwich fixings in a thin layer - deli sliced meats, sliced or shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, whatever. Then start at one side and roll to the other. Slice the log into 1 to 1 1/2 inch circles & enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI too love Wishbone salad dressings. I enjoy using the Italian dressing on my salads and marinating different meats with it. I enjoy using Ranch dressing not only on my salad also but also as a dip. Hot wings, vegetables, I even dip crackers and french fries in it. I have even used the Ranch dressing to make potato salad with. My hubs enjoys using French dressing with his salad.

ReplyDeleteI like to marinate boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the honey mustard dressing. I usually let it marinate 6 to 8 hours. Toss the chicken in a pan with some dressing, and bake for 45 minutes. I like to serve it with a salad, and some rice (or baked potatoes).
ReplyDeleteI put Wishbone Italian on most things. Favorites...steak, chicken, fish & other seafood, corn, mashed & baked potatoes, salad, pasta noodle salad.

ReplyDeleteI use it to make a delicious pasta salad! I just take some cooked penne pasta, chop up some cucumbers, sometimes tomatoes, McCormick salad supreme seasoning (you decide how much), and use as much as you want of Wishbone Italian dressing. Toss all that together and it’s always a crowd pleaser. Great with burgers!

ReplyDeleteWhile I do use Wishbone to marinate chicken, we use it exclusively on our salads. So much so, that we actually take a bottle with us when we eat out because my husband doesn't like "lite" Italian dressing and doesn't trust "house" Italian.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite quick recipe with WishBone dressing:
ReplyDeleteAbout 1/2 cup of your favorite WishBone vinaigrette-style dressing
1 can corn, drained
1 can white beans, drained
1 pint grape tomatoes
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 can small black pitted olives, drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Toss it all together and let it sit for an hour or two. This is always a hit at potlucks!
