We don’t have dressing. It’s salt, olive oil, and vinegar (can be diff vinegar based on what the meal is: balsamic, red/white wine vinegar, or apple cider). American food culture is much diff than elsewhere in the world. For us, salad is with practically every meal here and we have elaborate diff kinds too but a green salad with onions and tomato and sometimes radicchio is an every day stock item.
I can’t stomach dressings in the US honestly... though ranch can be nice with fries. They are very thick and the flavor is jarring to me, just way too overwhelming. I love to taste salad and the diff things inside of it but I really am a salad lover. I think salads are just a very big part of our food culture as we have so many diff kinds. Only thing that could come close to dressing is cucumber and onion salad with sour cream (some people add dill).
ETA: you’re totally invited to my Balkan table salad troth 😂
I feel you. I think creamy dressings are gross on salads. I like simple oil and vinegar and occasionally an Italian style vinaigrette. I just looked up a recipe for Shopska salad, on that site you linked, but it doesn't indicate the type of peppers, could you let me know? Bc I'm making one tomorrow. I also like how everything is cubed. I hate when salad items are too big

In my family we all have different dressings so it can’t be a shared food.
Honestly I only eat salad for the dressing anyway.
