"Bleu"? Do Americans really make it "bleu"? I can't tell if it's a typo or something they generally call it.

The original source said bleu but after more thought I think blue is better.

I think "blew cheese" would be a fair compromise. Especially if there are mushrooms in the salad.

Yes, the correct spelling is "Bleu" cheese (it is a french derivative)

Quite similar, but not the same. One is oil (mayo) based; the other is milk/yogurt based. Nevertheless, I agree that either answer should be an acceptable response.

I'm really confused as to why these two dressings would be considered the same. One is light orange and the other is dark, almost like French dressing.

And 1000 Island tastes nothing like Russian at all. Russian is sort of spicy.

Maybe in different parts of the country it's made differently.

Thousand Island is different than Russian, I agree. However TI could just be a variant of Russian. I thought TI had some chunks in it as well.

Agreed! Thousand Island and Russian are different but unfortunately are often considered interchangeable. Thousand Island is gross and Russian is delicious. ....the little islands are relish....bleck:)

If I ordered Russian dressing and got thousand island I'd be pretty disappointed, and vice versa.

NPR did a radio special on Ranch Dressing called "It's Official: Americans Are Floating In A Pool Of Ranch Dressing": https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/04/01/297704835/its-official-americans-are-floating-in-a-pool-of-ranch-dressing

While looking for the link I came across a fountain you can buy for Ranch dressing. A fountain. Surely this is a sign of the apocalypse. http://www.kissradio.ca/2017/03/15/can-now-buy-ranch-dressing-fountain/

What you call 'honey mustard' is generally called 'honey AND mustard' here in the UK.

The phrase "honey AND mustard" implies that those are the only two ingredients, whereas "honey mustard" implies the primary ingredients of a salad dressing that also includes vinegar and olive oil.

And YES, in restaurants, it is traditionally called "Honey Dijon".

The phrase 'honey mustard' implies that there is a type of mustard called honey mustard. Dijon mustard, English mustard, wholegrain mustard, honey mustard.... what the hell is honey mustard? Honey AND mustard implies more clearly that they are the two separate, primary ingredients in the dressing.

This argument is getting old. Don't take a quiz on North American salad dressings if you are going to whinge about the answers being too North American.

It's what you put on your salad if you want to turn it into a 1,500 calorie meal. But it's a requirement that you all your friends how much salad you've been eating recently and that you have a slow metabolism.

It's funny to me how nutrition and fitness is almost as contentious a topic, and maybe even more, than religion. Respond to someone posting about cross fit or the paleo diet or gluten or some non-existent thyroid disorder with the simple and firmly established science that is "calories in > calories out = weight gain" and you're in for a fight...

Disgusting that Ranch is #1. It's tasteless and unhealthy. Salad is meant to be healthy, so why would you dumb a bunch of dairy on it? Gross.

I was just guessing random condiments and got mustard. That is just as bad as ranch imo, at least Ranch tastes good.
