I really like their dressing and doing some online research tonight came up with one on About.com that claims to be a copy cat of theirs:
Blue Cheese Buttermilk Creamy Dressing

1 c. buttermilk
1 c. sour cream or nonfat sour cream
3 cloves garlic 1/8 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika
1 tsp salt
3 tblsp. blue cheese

In a food processor or heavy duty blender, combine all ingredients except blue cheese. Blend until smooth. Add blue cheese and pulse quickly once or twice. Do not blend.

Refrigerate 4 hours or more before serving to let flavors blend.

The author claims you will never eat bottled blue cheese again after this one.

I’m in heaven. Now I have recipes for both salads and the cheese toast. LOL

Carolyn: We always just make our regular old blue-cheese dressing for the green salad. I don’t every recall it being anything special. But maybe we’ll have to go to Clearman’s this summer when we’re down south and find out.

So glad I found this recipe. I have moved from CA to TN and really miss the two salads and cheese toast. Anyone have a recipe for the dressing for the green salad/

Yep: Click on the link in the second-to-last paragraph that says “a recipe for the stuff”.

Jen’s Mom: I’m so glad that your family enjoyed the slaw. (I saw Jen’s writeup on Bay Area Bites, too…)

It never occurred to me to make it with white/green cabbage. I’ll have to give that a try!

News flash! This week we needed a non- mayo dressing for cabbage for a picnic…un-red cabbage… is that white cabbage? And.. your perfect red slaw dressing became perfect un-red slaw dressing. Thanks again for posting your recipe for North Woods’ Crack. It’s a craver. It’s a keeper.

I’m with Dad…I crave this slaw.

Thanks for posting the recipe reminder. I went on a google search last summer when I needed a non-mayo slaw to take to a picnic. The recipe I found needed a lot of tweaking and I never really got “there” with the flavor. I’m trying yours this week.

I have to travel quite a ways to the nearest Clearman’s NWI. I was spoiled by having one in my neighborhood until a few years ago when it was closed down.
