My father invented this salad dressing (hence Dad's Dressing), which is actually based on Dale's Steak Sauce. It has a tremendously hearty flavor but the consistency is light enough to dress baby greens. In my family we particularly like adding it to green salads that include leftover grilled meat; whether beef, chicken, pork, or lamb. In fact, when I grill meat I always make a point of cooking more than I need so that I have the pleasure of the salad the next day for lunch or as a light dinner. Used with permission.
