Lots of flavor and pretty hot, so I would like serve the usual blue cheese or ranch dressing. There is problem---one of our guest can not have dairy because of food allergy. I thought I see if there creamy dairy free salad dressing available before ditching the idea of serving the buffalo chicken salad. Homemade recipes or store bought salad dressings would be great! Wed Jan 17 15:08:10 -0800 2007 21245 sarahbeth 1 2197407 I make salad dressing with mayonnnaise sometimes - I add vinegar or lemon juice, olive oil and chives. You could make a variation of that with the blue cheese.

Most kosher salad dressings are dairy-free ("pareve"), and some are "creamy."

Wed Jan 17 15:56:10 -0800 2007 2197365 11921 wyf4lyf 1 2197589 you can make a creamy dressing by pureeing silken tofu, but I don't know what you can sub for the bleu cheese. You could definitely do ranch with lots of fresh herbs. Wed Jan 17 16:03:29 -0800 2007 2197365 19185 budlit 1 2197819 Trouble is you're wanting something to cut the fire of the buffalo chicken and that's what the dairy is for. I'd go with a lemon herb dressing "creamed" by addition of mayonnaise. Here's my recipe: Nasturtium Goddess Dressing: Juice of 3 lemons Equal amounts of olive oil, canola oil and mayonnaise (proportional to the amount of lemon juice) 2 TBS sugar 1 tsp salt 1 tsp white pepper Dash of Worcestershire sauce 1 bunch green onions 1 bunch fresh Italian parsley (flat-broad leaves) 1 bunch nasturtium leaves or 1 bunch watercress Put all ingredients for the Dressing into a blender or food processor and puree until they become a smooth paste. Nasturtium leaves give the sauce a bright peppery flavor. Dill can also be used as an additional ingredient. It's a knockout green dressing that should be able to cool the fire from the buffalo chicken. It's also good for dipping veggies and pretzels.

They have refrigerated creamy dressings and shelf-stable ones - website is www.nasoya.com. If you want to make your own, I have heard good things about tofutti's better than sour cream. These tofu sour cream recipes might help if you are working from scratch - http://www.godairyfree.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=6&id=147&Itemid=49 I do agree though, the non-dairy "creamy" items don't quell the fire as well as traditional dairy.

Slowly drizzle in some extra virgin olive oil until you have a creamy vinagrette. Salt and pepper, a little of anything else you like for flavor, an herb? This recipe helped me lose a lot of weight and introduce more vegetable servings to my diet. Delicious too.

Sun Jan 28 10:36:34 -0800 2007 2197365 59709 flourless 1 2236560 I am a cook/manager at a restaurant and I have a dairy allergy so what I do is use non-dairy creamer. Most people dont know that restaurants use this for recipe's that call for milk.I use it in our homemade cream pies, breakfast gravy,mashed potatoes and so on. I buy it in bulk from our food service. In fact it is actually better than milk because it makes everything you use it in creamier. Sun Jan 28 18:36:31 -0800 2007 2197365 69942 pebblez 2 2240389 Out of curiosity, what kind of non-dairy creamer do you get that doesn't have sodium caseinate (milk protein derivitive) in it? Mon Jan 29 18:25:19 -0800 2007 2236560 59709 flourless 1 2236715 Your're kidding about the non-dairy creamer? It's full of chemicals & probably worse with hydrogenated fat....yikes!
