For those that make salad dressing, do you just mix in a jar (1,928 views)

I almost never use a jar, though I keep a small pint jar w/ lid in one of my drawers in case.
I use a cereal bowl or a drinking glass and a fork or a small and thin whisk. I've also just drizzled vinegar, then the oil then gently season with salt/pepper and toss the salad. Depends if it is just for me or if DH will be joining me or for a guest dinner.

I mix in a bowl whisking full force while adding the oil. The smallest size of this bowl m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/oxo-good-grips-reg-mixing-bowl/105165
stands sturdy in the corner of my sink leaving one hand to whisk and the other to slowly pour the oil.
Leftovers are kept in old, cleaned glass jars. Those from Bonne Maman are good with tight lids. They never go in the recycle bin.
Perhaps this works because I rarely make more than is used for one dinner. Probably very unpractical for everyone else.

wallycat -- Making the dressing in a bowl would have been a better idea, than shaking the dressing in that jar. Spilling, spraying....

Karen -- Thanks for the reccos. And, is it me, but who thinks up the names for their products. Is it me, but what the heck is counterscaping?

swedishcook -- Thanks for the Oxo recco. I do have a BBB coupon, you know the one that they seem to mail out all the time. Ha.

cafelatte -- I used the same Good Seasons cruet for years for my dressing but then the lid broke. I think my parents have one stashed in one of their million cabinets (not used) -- if so, it is mine! And thanks for the Misto suggestion. I usually do the same and just pour the olive oil and vinegar on the salad.

I know I must have a glass jar that has a good tight lid, I will have to check out the fridge......

Thanks all!

I finally finished the jar of jam that I wanted to use, so I have a jar to use. For years I used the Good Seasons cruet (until it broke), then random jars since then. Last time, silly move on my part I used a jar with a plastic lid (more of a storage jar it didn't have food in it) and it wasn't tight enough. Hence the spill.

Thx.

I use the All-in-One Shaker from Tupperware. It works great for dressings!

All-in-One Shaker

I use a small Nalgene screw top plastic jar. mainly though... I make the dressing in a larger container and instead of whisking, I zoom with a stick blender. it does not separate after.  screw top  plastic storage  jar rarely if ever needs shaking. it always leaked below the lid before. so my thought is get  stick blender  and do it that way.

I use a whisk in a bowl. I have a small whisk that's great for this.
