Vidalia Onion Dressing ... its more than just salad!

While I have salads on my mind, this sweet & tangy dressing is great on spinach salad.  Try some cranberries & Feta Cheese along with it.  Bacon Salad is another popular salad to use with Vidalia dressing (sounds real healthy right?) 

The real reason Vidalia Onion Dressing is on my mind is because that happens to be what I'm cooking with today.  I had a roast that needed to be cooked so I just tossed it in the crock pot (with  no prep) & poured a little Vidalia Onion Dressing over it.  After a few hours ... its ready to go.  Just top it with more dressing, perhaps serve with a salad :) & what ever else you'd like as a side.  Typically I would've thrown in potatoes & carrots with a little bit of beef broth but I'm completely out of fresh veggies & since it feels like 2 degrees outside I decided they were not needed.

Here are a few other suggestions & recipes to enjoy Vidalia Onion Dressing with:
Add to tuna salad, coleslaw, or combine with equal parts mayonnaise for a sandwiches.
Marinate your steak, hamburger or chicken with it.
Warm & serve over asparagus or broccoli.
Just in German Potato Salad or Chicken Salad.
